WWE Hershey Live Event: 10 Interesting Observations

4. Rusev And Lana: Heat Magnets

Despite every attempt by WWE Creative to kill Rusev's heat over the last year, The Bulgarian Brute and his Ravishing Russian mouthpiece Lana remain an incredibly over heel act. Whether Lana was mocking the fans for their consumption of chocolate leading to their obesity, or taunting fans with her engagement to Rusev, the devious duo generated strong heat from the audience. It could have been something as simple as Rusev feverishly waving his Bulgarian flag, complete with the douchiest picture of him imaginable emblazoned on its center, that elicited the boos. Whatever the case may have been, the fans ate up everything the happy couple did to product jeers. Rusev would proceed to roll over Sin Cara en route to a submission victory, despite a spirited comeback from the masked luchador late in the bout, then continue inciting angry responses as Lana planted a kiss on the cheek of the winner.
