7 Reasons WWE Fastlane 2017 Absolutely Sucked

7. Not Turning Rusev Face

This one feels like it's been long overdue for a while now, and the only reason it hasn't happened is because Rusev has been pigeonholed into the "evil foreigner" shtick - albeit a slightly modernized version - that WWE always goes to with guys from outside the United States.

The problem is that Rusev has all the tools to be an outstanding babyface: He's hilarious with great timing, has untapped charisma, his selling is some of the best in the company and he kills it with his facial expressions and doing all the "little things" correctly.

While Jinder "Hardbody" Mahal - who is definitely NOT on ALL the steroids - isn't exactly the level of heel that Rusev's turn should be inspired by, it felt like all the seeds were being planted with the two partners having their dispute and coming to blows earlier in the evening, but instead this just fizzled out into shades of gray nothingness.

Instead of a face turn that the fans - and quite frankly Rusev himself - were more than ready for, we get an impromptu match against Big Show where he cleanly defeats The Bulgarian Brute so that Show can be kept strong for...not-Shaq?

I don't think WWE would know how to book a babyface Rusev properly, but I think most fans would love to see them try.
