Rusev’s victory over Titus O’Neil felt like a foregone conclusion before it had even aired, and while the division is in a questionable state at the moment, it looks like we’re headed for another dominant US Title run from “The Bulgarian Brute.”

Rusev is one of WWE’s most spectacular recovery jobs. His career looked dead in the water after being fed to John Cena, splitting from Lana, then his involvement with the doomed-from-the-start League of Nations. Back with Lana (and his championship), Rusev’s career has done a complete U-turn, and he’s once again become one of the company’s all-round best heels.

If the way Rusev has dominated Kalisto and Titus is anything to go by, we’re all-set for another commanding reign from “The True American Hero”. Just keep him away from Cena, Vince. Thanks mate.
