If there’s a bright side to the abomination that is the ongoing Rusev/Lana/Bobby Lashley storyline, it’s that Rusev has managed to not look like a total goof.

Mainly, that’s due to Rusev’s natural charisma, as he’s clearly moved into being a pure face, playing to fans, making jokes and letting his personality show. He did this during a backstage promo during TLC where he said he was elated that Lana might marry Lashley, because then he wouldn’t have to pay alimony anymore. He then told Lana to cancel her plans for the evening because she’d be picking splinters out of Lashley’s back after their tables match.

Bad storyline, horribly unfunny, but at least Rusev is gaining a little steam out of it.
