9 Best Reactions From WWE Draft 2016
8. Rusev
Rusev, on the other hand, was given a much better spot on
the 2016 Draft. He was selected in the 4th round and as the 16th
pick overall, ahead of the likes of Enzo & Cass, Kevin Owens, the Big Show
and many more.
But clearly that wasn’t enough for Rusev.
In a backstage segment with Tom Phillips, the US champ voiced his obvious disgust. Demanding Tom run through the top Draft picks, Rusev offered his critique of each of them. He slammed Rollins for having a “bad wheel” and needing surgery as a result, while Ambrose is apparently just a “lunatic with a fringe” that Rusev could easily beat.
Charlotte, though, she’s alright; “good for her” he said.
The tirade continued with AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, John Cena and others being called out by the Bulgarian Brute. As amusing as he was with his quips, though, there was indeed a point to the promo.
He ended with a clear message that he didn’t care where Zack Ryder was drafted to, and that no matter what, Rusev would be leaving Battleground as the United States champion.
