Since Alexander Rusev debuted on Raw this past week, it's likely going to be something that continues at Extreme Rules. Who will his opponent be? They could go with somebody like Rob Van Dam, who is a veteran former World Champion that still has some credibility with the fans. He would be my choice as his short term run should mean he is used to put others over and they need to put Rusev over a bigger name because if it's just some random midcarder it won't mean a whole lot. How WWE books Rusev from the get go will be key. If all he does is beat up midcard babyfaces for four months then what is he? A midcarder that beats up losers. He has to face off with some bigger names right off the bat because if not then we've got another Brodus Clay on our hands. Nobody wants that.
