Anyone watching Money In The Bank must have noticed Rusev getting directly in the faces of Titus O'Neil's sons around ringside. Even after he had won the match and defended his WWE United States Title, the 'Bulgarian Brute' even spoke to O'Neil's boys, mentioning that their dad was a loser.

The announcers didn't exactly make a big deal out of it, but could this have been a delayed punishment of sorts for O'Neil's prior suspension? WWE have been known to punish performers on screen in the past for their indiscretions, so it wouldn't be completely out of nowhere.

Before he faced Rusev, Titus was bigged up as a 'Father Of The Year' in 2015 by Michael Cole, who also made sure to reference that it was Father's Day. That seemed to be why O'Neil's children were situated around the ring, so they could watch their old man lose a live pay-per-view match on the one day they're supposed to be thankful for him.

It may be looking too much into things, but it does seem a little odd to hammer home the point that Titus is a brilliant dad, only to have him lose in front of his kids on Father's Day.
