Could he be the next champion

#7 Rusev

Everyday is Rusev Day!
Every day is Rusev Day!

Rusev Day currently isn’t a national holiday, but if it were, nobody would work ever again- because every day is Rusev Day! After years of swimming through the mediocre mess that WWE forced on the 'Bulgarian Brute', Rusev has finally found the gimmick that works for him. When Rusev was running through opponents during his undefeated run, many believed that he could be the next big foreign villain that WWE has lacked, since Muhammad Hassan.

Currently, the fans can be heard chanting ‘Rusev Day’ every week on SmackDown Live, and it isn’t an exaggeration to say Rusev is one of the top five fan-favorite Superstars on the brand. In fact, his shirt is currently one of the best selling merchandise items on WWE Shop, highlighting his rising stock in the company.

While the entire idea of ‘Rusev Day’ and pairing with Aiden came about as a joke, Rusev has truly made it a phenomenon, and WWE would be wise to take advantage of his popularity and strike the iron while it’s hot and put the WWE Championship on him soon.
