10 Biggest WWE WrestleMania 34 Missed Opportunities
4. Rusev Day? Not Today, Pal...
WWE's most misused modern performer is an absolute gem. A magnetic entertainer, he's endlessly charismatic, and while a clear level or two below "best in the world" contention, a wrestler capable of keeping up with even his most talented peers between the ropes.
His chants dominate every show, and he has proven he can get anything over (from dopey love triangle storylines, to tank-based ring entrances). On top of this, he's one of his company's biggest merch-shifters, and somebody the fans absolute adore, but alas: not only did WWE not put him over at WrestleMania 34, but they had him pinned by Jinder Mahal.
The company spurned two big opportunities in doing so. They could've restored relevance to the flagging United States Title division by strapping a performer the fans genuinely want to invest in, and reward a long-suffering wrestler with an escape route from his lowly position in the hierarchy. Instead, the belt remains firmly entrenched in muck, and if he isn't moved to Raw as part of next week's Superstar Shakeup, so will Rusev, who remains miscast as a heel.
