24 WTF Moments From WWE Payback

9. Rusev Doesn't Understand How An "I Quit" Match Works

In one of the many stupid moments in the match, Rusev manages to render John Cena unconscious with a camel clutch, at which point he begins celebrating as though he's won the match. Mike Chioda tells him that this isn't the case, and of course, Rusev is outraged and frustrated. It's stupid because it makes Rusev look like a brutish moron, when surely he would have known the rules to an I Quit match before stepping into the ring. It's another attempt by the WWE to paint a character from a foreign land as a "stupid other" and it's just so embarrassing.
