Despite negative reviews, the Rusev/Lana/Bobby Lashley love triangle storyline has been a ratings hit and one person who just so happens to be a major fan of the angle on
RAW is Vince McMahon.
According to WrestlingNews.co, the WWE Chairman loved everything about how things played out on Monday and the plan is for this angle to continue indefinitely...or at least until fans lose interest! McMahon believes that people can't look away from what's happening despite not liking it (similar to a car wreck, apparently).
They note that, "The storyline might make you cringe but you will keep watching…at least that is how McMahon feels. He also looks at the numbers for these segments and feels that Lana is generating real heel heat and not 'go away' heat."
It's added that "Rusev has been getting praise backstage for the work he’s been doing."
The plan now is for Rusev to take on Lashley at the upcoming
TLC PPV but it's feasible that this storyline will continue well into 2020 and the upcoming
Royal Rumble PPV. How do you feel about that?
