Rusev is clearly doing the Lord’s work these days, trying to rid the world of homewreckers, one Certified G at a time.

OK, clearly that’s not what’s happening here, and a strike against this Big Cass & Enzo Amore feud with Rusev is that the Bulgarian Brute is rightly pissed that Enzo agreed to go to Lana’s hotel room, walk inside and strip down to his underwear. Faked marital trouble or not, that’s the definition of a homewrecker, and Enzo brought his beatdown on himself. Instead, Rusev is the villain.

Fast-forward to Monday night, and Rusev now has to contend with Cass defending his partner’s honor. You know, that honor of trying to seduce another man’s wife. This feud might be getting the opposite reaction of what you might expect from fans, but it gets a slight nod upward because it has given all three men (and Lana) something to do. Rusev is devoted to his wife, while Enzo and Cass are showing that they’re not choir boys.
