10. Two Plodding Beasts

What can be said about the developing rivalry between Rusev and Ryback? How about €œno?€ For the second consecutive week, the Big Guy and the Bulgarian Brute squared off on Raw, only for the match to end inconclusively. Both times a possible Lana injury resulted in a count-out, this time with both men being outside the ring and Lana faking her injury to lure Ryback into a Rusev attack. It€™s a feud that doesn€™t appear to have any coherent reason to exist other than, €œHere are two big men who aren€™t doing anything else.€And while that can work sometimes, this pairing isn€™t inspiring anything other than a bathroom break. Even a Ryback plancha and missile dropkick can€™t save this €œfeud.€ Unless something is going to captivate fans soon, this one could use a decisive match to put a cap on this rivalry.
