The match between Rusev and Big E was brief in that it went under five minutes, but it sent the message that Rusev continues to be a force in WWE. He's had short matches for a couple months of now. Nobody on the main roster has really pushed him yet. There was a great spot in the match with Rusev standing on the apron and Big E nailed him with a Spear that sent both guys crashing to the floor. It's a spot that Big E does once in a while. It's always very impressive looking. Thats about the only significant offense that he got, though. He was dominated by Rusev. It's hard to know what WWE has planned for Rusev and the "ravishing Russian" Lana. They could really have him make a name for himself by going after a top face like John Cena, but it may be too soon for that. It could be another midcarder that's next on his hit list, which could lead to the undefeated Rusev getting pushed to the limit although it would be a surprise if he were to lose a match any time soon. Six months ago Big E was a guy with a very bright future. He has fallen off a lot since then.
