1. Rusev's Attention To Detail

Much like Kevin Owens, Rusev just does so many little things correctly that it's often hard to truly despise him. As a heel, the Bulgarian is in his element, it's genuinely difficult to see him ever being a babyface in WWE. For Raw's main event, he was at it again.

Pretty much forced to defend his WWE United States Title against Cesaro, Rusev was unhappy when JoJo went to announce the challenger first for the match. Stopping the diminutive ring announcer in her tracks, Rusev demanded that he be announced before Cesaro. This is becoming a familiar part of the guy's act, and it's awesome.

Crucially, Rusev showed some attention to detail when he called out to JoJo. He didn't just use the same spiel he had before on the show, he remarked that he had already told her to announce him first last week.

For her part, JoJo looked intimidated by Rusev's demands, but went along with them for an easy life. This was not the most immediately recognisable part of Raw, but it is worth mentioning.
