10 Ways To Save WrestleMania 31 After Royal Rumble Disaster

3. Keep Rusev's Momentum Going

It seems that Rusev is finally learning how to be a heel. By definition, heels need to cheat their way to wins and act in a cowardly manner. Finally, we saw this from the Bulgarian Brute at the Royal Rumble. Prior to last night, Rusev had merely been squashing opponents on his magnificent undefeated run, which is coming up to a year in length. This meant that all we had to hate about him was the fact that he, and his lovely valet Lana, are Russian sympathisers which is slightly racist, if nothing else. However, he showed that he is becoming more accustomed to the role as a big bump sent him rolling under the bottom rope and out of contention for a large period of the Rumble match. Once Roman Reigns had dispatched of The Big Show and Kane, he reentered the match and tried to take advantage, only to be thwarted. If he continues to develop the key nuances of being a heel, and giving more reasons for us fans to hate him, he could be a foil for any of the company's top stars.
