10 Awesome WWE Groups That Didn't Get Enough Time

10. Rusev Day

It is ridiculous that WWE took so long to get behind Rusev Day, and even worse that once they’d started pushing the duo, they were broken apart for no reason. Now both men are on separate paths outside of WWE, and that wouldn’t have been necessary if they were booked stronger.

Rusev and Aiden English got over as a pairing during backstage skits where Rusev would declare every day “Rusev Day” and adopted English as his extravagant announcer, tag team partner, and fellow enthusiast of all Rusev Days. The two had great chemistry on the microphone and worked well together in the ring, with the presence of Rusev helping establish English as a wrestler again after the disbanding of the Vaudevillains.

Unfortunately, the gimmick wasn’t planned to get over, and Rusev spent most of late 2017 and 2018 taking losses or not being on television, with his character’s momentum being destroyed by the time he won the US Championship on Christmas Day 2018. At that point, the duo had been split up and barely feuded at all, and both men’s trajectory out of the company began.

A disappointing shame, as both men could have done wonders with a tag title reign together.
