#2 Rusev Day is back baby

Rusev and English seem to have made up

For weeks on end, Aiden English has been the cause for Rusev and Lana losing so many matches, and this week Rusev's hype man finally did something worthwhile and actually assisted Rusev in winning his mixed tag team match against Andrade " Cien" Almas and Zelina Vega. While the actual match between Almas-Vega and Rusev-Lana was not anything special from an in-ring perspective, it did further the narrative of Rusev and English's crumbling relationship.

Finally, the blue brand's creative team stop playing with the angle of Aiden being a bumbling fool that always costs his best friend the match somehow and took this narrative to the next level. While Almas losing is never a good thing this early in his main roster run, it seems as if WWE will have him bounce back in on time.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Also, it is funny how Almas always taps out in a blink of an eye when out in a superstars submission move, the reason from a character standpoint could be Almas' refusal to strain himself when not in a match that is of any importance. Anyhow it is good to see the members of Rusev Day back together, as Rusev is incomplete without Aiden and vice versa.
