10 Things WWE Need To Get Right On The Road To WrestleMania
7. Establish Rusev As A Heel
Since making his full-time main roster debut the night after WrestleMania, Rusev has been one of the WWEs brightest new prospects and one of the biggest success stories from the revamped NXT. His rise through the ranks, from Zack Ryder to John Cena was organic and told a gripping story, but theres one major aspect WWE overlooked. Theres very little about Rusev that makes him a heel, as hes proud of his country, fights honourably and doesnt let anyone disrespect his ladyfriend. The only thing that makes Rusev a heel is his nationality, but if you swap out Russia from America, youd be describing someone more similar to Hulk Hogan. Luckily, heading into WrestleMania, WWE seem set to fix this one flaw in their storytelling, and Rusev resorting to a lowblow to defeat John Cena at Fastlane was the sort of underhanded tactics he needs to be doing more to establish himself as a heel. WWE is a worldwide organisation, and to many people watching, America isnt a very nice place and it doesnt take much for them to side against the USA, so making Rusev a bad person is essential on the Road to WrestleMania. If he can continues these acts of cowardice and desperation in the run up to his rematch with John Cena, theyll have a potential show-stealer on their hands.
