Believe it or not, one short year ago, Rusev was one of the top heels in WWE.
His vicious undefeated streak and cruel mockery of WWE's American babyfaces led him on a collision course with John Cena, who became the U.S.'s de facto defender. The two met at WrestleMania.
John Cena has had his share of complex WrestleMania entrances, but in Santa Clara, Rusev outdid him. As the State Anthem of the Russian Federation played, actors dressed as Russian soldiers - complete with flags and replica guns - took their places on the enormous WrestleMania stage.
Flanked by "soldiers", Rusev's manager, Lana, made her way down to the ring, carrying "The Super Athlete's" United States Championship belt on her shoulder.
Still, that was only the beginning. After the players had all found their places, a tremendous tank drove into the stadium. When it came to a halt, Rusev emerged from the hatch, carrying one more Russian flag.
Needless to say, the so-called "Hero of the Russian Federation" made his position crystal clear prior to the bout.
