10 WWE Stars Who Could End Rusev's Reign Of Terror

10. Hulk Hogan/Hacksaw Jim Duggan/Sgt. Slaughter

Hacksaw Jim Duggan Call this the Nuclear Option for blowing up the entire gimmick in spectacular fashion. If Vince McMahon decides Rusev just isn€™t ready for the main roster, or if Rusev doesn€™t shake hands with the right person, then he could find his push aborted. If that happens, he€™ll lose quickly. And knowing how WWE can be sometimes, it€™ll be a Legend coming out of the back to beat him with their 1980s offense. After months of Rusev running over people and getting a ton of heat, it€™s highly unlikely we€™ll see Hacksaw Jim Duggan or Sgt. Slaughter return to the ring €“ unless they are used to further put Rusev over as the destroyer of all that is great about America. Now, if Rusev has a showdown with Hulk Hogan in the ring, whoever comes to bail him out (since Hogan isn€™t medically cleared for action) could very well be the guy to end Rusev€™s reign.
