WWE: 10 Questions You Most Want Answered (June 14)

7. Rusev's Future

From @jermaine611: How far do you think Rusev can go with that gimmick?
He can become a WWE World Heavyweight Champion if the booking team really gets behind him and if he performs at a high level that is worthy of a monster push. The gimmick may seem limited because he's doing the same thing every match with Lana using Vladimir Putin to get him booed and then the giant Russian flag appears to upset people even more. However, if WWE feels like he's good enough then he can become a WWE Champ. The person I usually bring up is Mark Henry because he was a career midcarder for 15 years before they pushed him to the World Title in 2011. Another example is Great Khali. He was a World Champ too and he's a much worse performer than Rusev. At least Rusev is mobile. His offense looks great. Khali just looked awkward all the time. The presence of Lana helps him a lot. She gets people's attention. As long as Rusev continues to improve in the ring he has a shot to go very far in WWE.
