Speaking via his Twitch account, the recently-released free agent responded to questions from viewers about the promotion's recent hype for Slammiversary 2020. In the span of just one short video, Impact showed numerous ex-WWE stars, including Eric Young, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, EC3, Curt Hawkins and both Mike and Maria Kanellis.

Later in the vid, the company focused on a Bulgarian flag waving ominously in the wind. That has led many to suspect that Rusev might be readying himself for a wrestling return on Impact's upcoming 18 July pay-per-view.

Rusev pointed out on Twitch that Impact might know exactly what they're doing here; they could easily have some indy stand out from Bulgaria waiting in the wings instead. At the same time, Ru-Ru also understand why some believe it's a teaser for him.

He (rather cryptically) added, "I don’t wanna' confirm or deny. Maybe they wanna' pay me a million dollars for one match - who knows? Maybe I’ll come in".
