The dominance of Rusev continues after a clean win over Big Show. That was the right decision because Big Show isn't the right guy to give Rusev his first pinfall or submission loss. It was also smart for Rusev to win clean. No interference from anybody or a heel turn from Mark Henry. Although Henry didn't interfere, Show did tell him he's got this and that allowed Rusev to surprise Show with a kick. That led to Show's downfall because Rusev hit him with three kicks before applying the Accolade for the submission win. Earlier I mentioned the timing of the matches. In this case, the timing was right because they got about eight minutes. If they got more than that it would have been really boring. Half of their match was Rusev applying a chinlock anyway. Neither one of these guys is known for having long, entertaining matches. Keep it hard hitting and short. That's for the best. Who's next for Rusev? It could be Sheamus. He's not an American, but he is the US Champion. Having the evil Russian with the US Title could be a good storyline.
