That really seems to be the root of this feud between these two big, bruising heavyweights. Rusevs real-life fiancée Lana recently returned to WWE (having recovered from a broken hand), with their storyline breakup being brushed aside in favor of something closer to reality. Their engagement was woven into their characters and they began making out regularly on camera. Enter Ryback. The Big Guy battled Rusev in a match that ended when Rusev got counted out attending to Lana after she was accidentally (storyline) injured. In subsequent weeks, Ryback came out to the ring to break up a make-out session between the lovebirds, and a rematch between the two ended in a double count-out thanks to Lana feigning another injury. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXlJ7nizDMc Really, no good reason has been given for this feud theres been no promo time on Raw to set this up either so we might as well make up our own reason, that being that Ryback hates public displays of affection. Until we get a real reason, we might as well hold out hope we get an answer to this.
