3 reasons why not reuniting Rusev Day was a great idea

Rusev and English

A few weeks ago, Aiden English shocked the world by betraying his friend Rusev. Many WWE fans were expecting the same from Rusev, but again the company decided to do something unexpected. To make things even more interesting, WWE showed us a 'one night in Milwaukee' segment between English and Lana.

Last week Aiden showed us a preview of a clip where Lana said 'I want you' to Aiden, and the video stopped.

Aiden tried to reunite Rusev Day this week, but it didn't work out. Rusev Day is still broken, and here are 3 reasons why not reuniting it is a good idea.

#3 It wouldn't be good for 'heel' Aiden English

In the past few weeks, we have seen many heels turns in the company, and many of them were shocking. At WWE Super Show-Down, The Undertaker and Kane attacked Triple H and Shawn Micheals to book a future match between them at Crown Jewel.

The next night on Raw, we saw The Bella Twins turning against Ronda Rousey, and Bobby Lashley doing a double turn. Now it seems like WWE is prioritising heel over face, and this is why Aiden needs to stay away from Rusev Day.

The heels often help the faces, giving a boost to their careers, and most of the time things need to be done by a singles performer. Aiden has a good voice, and he could easily cut intense promos and give decent matches as well.

The rise of Rusev Day started with English, as it was he who used to announce Rusev, and if he could do this with Rusev, there's no doubt the same could happen with himself as well. WWE needs to focus on English, as he can do wonders in the ring as a singles performers.

#2 The storyline could have become meaningless

English's heel turn was an unexpected one, but it seems like the WWE has a lot to implement in the storyline, and to do this they have to keep him as a heel. This storyline made the WWE fans curious, as they wanted to know what happened between Aiden and Lana.

If Rusev had accepted English's offer to reunite Rusev Day, then this storyline could have become nothing but meaningless, which is not good for anyone.

Although some fans will say that this storyline is becoming irrelevant, we all know that it just takes a good promo or segment to make things interesting. After this segment, one thing is clear - Rusev and English are not done yet, and will face each other in a future event.

Maybe WWE is going to involve Lana in this feud in such a way that will only make this personal.

#1 Rusev needs to stay as a face

He deserves more as a face

A majority of WWE fans were expecting Rusev to turn against English, but the opposite happened. Although WWE was portraying him as a heel, the crowd was giving him a face reaction.

This is one of the main reasons why the breakup of Rusev Day is best for The Bulgarian Brute, as it will allow him to stay as a face and focus on his career.

The betrayal from Aiden is not only good for him, but also for Rusev. During the initial stage of his WWE career, Rusev was enjoying success in the company, but soon the company gave up on him and started using him as a jobber.

However, after pairing him with English, his career began to flourish again, and Rusev Day chants started to happen everywhere in the WWE Universe.

If he had accepted Aiden's offer, then not only would it have hurt his face image, but would also have destroyed all expectations of his major push in the company. A face Rusev could achieve more in the company by himself, and this is why not reuniting Rusev Day was a good idea.
