Thank you Corey Graves for boiling things down so succinctly.

Rusev, as Graves noted, was in the right for defending his wife’s honor against Enzo Amore, who openly hit on Lana and went to her hotel room at her invitation. No matter how you swing it, Enzo got involved because he was trying to bed down the Ravishing Russian, which would make him a scoundrel.

But in WWE world, Rusev is the villain, and he and Jinder Mahal fell to Enzo & Big Cass in a tag match, with their victory being sold as getting a bit of retribution. At this point, can we please just move on to a new feud that doesn’t involve infidelity as a hook?... Especially when the roles end up getting reversed.
