6 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 5th)

3. An Indecent Proposal

In some ways, thank God that WWE is seemingly turning the page on the Dolph Ziggler/Rusev feud, having the Bulgarian Brute now feud with someone else. Sadly, it looks like he will be feuding with his valet and her marriage proposal. Yep, Summer Rae got down on a knee and asked Rusev to marry her. (It is 2015, after all.) To his credit, Rusev (who deserves much better than a soap opera storyline like this) played it off well, accepting her offer, but only after he wins championship gold again. It was a great way for him to blow Summer off and turn the focus back on himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcg1ktnXxqc The storyline itself has €œtrainwreck€ written all over it, but it could be a €œso bad it€™s good€ type of affair. One note: Rusev talked about winning championship gold, then did not answer an open challenge for the United States Championship in the next segment. Talk about lack of consistency.
