A photo is circulating on Twitter of Rusev in a wheelchair. His leg is bound up in a cast and it appears as if he is needing to be wheeled through the airport. This follows reports last night that the Bulgarian Brute had injured his leg. Details are limited right now, but obviously it doesn't look good. Reports from Smackdown stated that Rusev was selling a leg injury and was helped to the back by trainers. It could be that he is just continuing selling the injury, but it is more likely that something really was up. Obviously this is terrible timing. He has only just split from Lana and was expected to be involved in a major angle and feud around that. He's now potentially away from television for months on end while she's just moving on. It has been a fairly dismal year. Rusev lost his winning streak to John Cena and took multiple losses to him on WWE specials. It has left the monster heel in a weakened position and his future was approaching a period of uncertainty. If he is injured, then WWE will have to act quickly to replace him in this Sunday's Elimination Chamber.
