SmackDown Live wasn't nearly as exciting an episode as RAW
#4 Best/worst: Rusev's victory

Rusev's win was just a little underwhelming to me
They split up Rusev Day so that Rusev could win a match on SmackDown Live in a matter of mere minutes? I had expected a more drawn out feud with a lot more heat, quite honestly. But the Aiden English vs. Rusev feud just proves that WWE views Rusev as a much bigger star than they do Aiden English.

And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe the company will get behind Rusev and launch him straight to the top this time, with his lovely wife by his side again. Only this time, Rusev would be a babyface and not a heel.

But I wonder if this is the end of the road for Aiden English. Will he still have a future in WWE after his tenure with Rusev is done?
