10 Most Improved WWE Wrestlers Of 2015

3. Rusev

Rusev's work is just as good as it has always been. Even though he isn't the most fluid in the ring, he rarely misses a step and can seemingly work with whatever is put in front of him. His in-ring abilities have never been questioned since his main roster debut at the 2014 Royal Rumble - something that has continued into 2015 either side of a serious ankle injury. For much of his undefeated run - which ended after almost a year and four months at the hands of John Cena at WrestleMania, no less - Rusev took up the moniker of the foreign brute who didn't talk too much and destroyed everything in his path. When have we seen that before... ZZZZZZ.... However, since his defeat to Cena, Rusev's character has developed so much that he is now legitimately one of the most entertaining Superstars on the main roster. His lack of English makes him sort of lovable in a way when you're supposed to hate him for being from another country... RuRu has proved that he is every part the sports entertainer and not the throwback brawler everyone thought he was. Now that he's back with Lana - an on-screen relationship that should never have been broken up - and has another year in front of the camera and on the mic under his belt, the sky really is the limit for Rusev. He's shown that he is capable of participating in storylines that range from main event worthy to an utter farce. WWE have a star on their hands and should allow him to flourish in 2016. Let's hope that the Bulgarian doesn't get lost in the shuffle of the League of Nations.
