Rusev and Lana are back together on WWE TV, and the rehabilitation of the Bulgarian Brute is under way. Ryback is his first real challenge since Lana returned to his side, and anything less than a convincing win for the former Alexander would be the wrong decision. Ryback is in the position that is perfect for him at this stage of his career. Acting as a gate keeper in the middle of the card, he is credible enough to squash opponents now and then but is unlikely to receive another major push any time soon. As such, putting him over Rusev here makes absolutely zero sense. Rusev must win, and Rusev must win clean. Have Ryback pass out in the Accolade, giving Ru-Ru the win without sacrificing Ryback in any way. Simple.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
