Show of hands: Who is thoroughly entertained by the Rusev/Lana/Bobby Lashley angle?

OK, put your hands down, both of you.

The cuckolding storyline has been a low point for Raw each week, with fans booing their way through each installment, and viewers changing the channel when it airs. The only bright spot has been the cheers for Rusev, though many of those could be sympathy for him having to endure this godawful angle.

Monday, Lana declared that she was celebrated her seven-week “sexiversary” with Lashley… and the fact that she was nine weeks pregnant. Do the math.

This brought out Rusev for a painful exchange between real-life husband-and-wife trying to argue about a non-existent baby. Of course, this gave way to Lana attacking Rusev with a rake of the eyes, blinding him so Lashley could beat him up.

Oh, and then Lana declared that the pregnancy was a fake. *Whew* Thank God they cleared that one up!
