9 Reasons To Be Optimistic About WWE 2018
5. RUSEV DAY
Is 2018 going to be the year that WWE finally pulls the trigger on the Handsome Bulgarian Brute? Rusev had an extremely underwhelming 2017, but has come back strong over the last couple of months. A seemingly random partnership with Aiden English may well be the most popular act on WWE TV right now.
Rusev Day is gaining real momentum, and the company isn’t going to be able to ignore it for too long. There are commentators out in the wilderness speculating that we could have a new YES! Movement on our hands. Rusev Day might not reach those heights, but it could be the vehicle that propels the man from Plovdiv into the main event scene for good.
Time and time again, WWE fails to capitalise on the organic popularity of its superstars. Rusev has everything that the company could want from a major star, regardless of alignment. 2018 might end with a preposterously handsome Bulgarian man standing on top of the world.
