18 HUGE WWE WrestleMania 34 Predictions You Need To Know
15. Rusev Day!
The news that Rusev was ready to depart WWE altogether shortly before the organisation threw him into WrestleMania's United States Title match didn't come as a shock to those that had frustratedly followed his Twitter feed since SmackDown Live! gaffer Shane McMahon 'duly noted' the unbelievable reception he received every single week.
'The Bulgarian Brute' was responsible for the most organic babyface uprising since the Yes Movement, and probably still have gobbled up every cheer on the blue brand had Daniel Bryan himself not gotten miraculously cleared to wrestle lest than a month out from the 'Show Of Shows'.
Despite that, Rusev's refreshing self-belief paid off. Unhappy with his spot probably not even winning the Andre The Giant Battle Royal, his fire and fury got him a shot at Randy Orton's secondary strap and vastly improved the likelihood of the scrap also featuring Jinder Mahal and Bobby Roode actually being any good.
Vince McMahon claims to love this sort of chutzpah from his 'millennial' bunch, so expect the beloved Bulgarian to take back the title he's thus far been most synonymous with, most likely with a pinfall over The Chairman's biggest failed experiment this decade. 'The Maharaja' won't catch any flack for it - those vast Indian network subscribers never materialised even when he was on top.
