If WWE's top brass could hit the rewind button, there's a fair chance they'd elect not to split Rusev and Lana back in 2015. That was a disastrous move, setting back the careers of both without any real end game. Slowly but surely though, things are being put right in 2016.

Looking to rub their recent marriage vows in the faces of all, the happy couple celebrated their union on this week's Raw. Repeatedly, Rusev shouted at the live audience for booing Lana, condemning them for showing a lack of respect to his new wife.

Eventually, Roman Reigns would come out and Lana would end up face first in a nearby wedding cake. Before that, some little nuances really put over the cringeworthy relationship between the married pair.

Flexing for the cameras, Rusev watched as his bride planted a kiss on his bicep muscle. This was caught by the production team, but they didn't linger too long, making it easy to miss.

There's no reason why this couldn't become part of the Rusev and Lana package, it comes across as painfully arrogant.
