Without being needlessly cruel, the basis of the argument put forth by one Aiden English was that stunning blonde bombshell Lana had ludicrously fallen for him behind Rusev's back. Now, no-one's throwing stones here, but ol' Aides is hardly the kind of barrel-chested European hunk a certain 'Ravishing Russian' goes for.

That predictable 'I'll steal your girl, bro' nonsense would be enough to make the feud suck.

Unfortunately, there's more, and it's a little deeper. Away from Rusev's side and not able to do his very much over singing intros, English has zero purpose. He was already on life support as a singles once Simon Gotch left and split The Vaudevillains, so it's unclear what WWE were thinking by striking him out on his own again.

The feud hasn't led to much either. Rusev beat Aiden in October and then just sort of moved on as though nothing had even happened. The phoney tension between he and Lana, which has been done to death at this point, was the beginning of a rivalry that flat out crapped the bed.
