From @RobynGrayson_: After Big Show what's next for Rusev? Another guy fight for America? Or maybe a Brit needs to show 'em how it's done like Wade Barrett?
First off, I think Rusev is going to beat Big Show. Mark Henry will probably turn heel soon. It might be during the match although I think it would be better on television after the match. The next rivalry for Rusev could be Sheamus just because he's the current US Champion. Imagine the heat that the Russian could get holding the US Title? That would be fun. The only question is whether WWE would want to put the US Title on Rusev. Also, Sheamus is a guy that is around the same level of star power as Big Show if not a bit higher. It seems like the Rusev push is going to lead to somebody like Randy Orton (he'll be a face soon) or John Cena beating him via pinfall or submission for the first time. Maybe Kurt Angle if he comes to WWE, but that's far from a sure thing. A British guy like Wade Barrett wouldn't be right for an angle like that. Whoever beats Rusev will look like a star, no doubt about it, but it would only be right if it was an American wrestler that got the win.
