3 reasons why Rusev Day splitting up is great news

For the past year or so, the WWE Universe has been witness to one of the most unique, yet entertaining pairings in recent memory: Rusev and Aiden English.

Together, the duo performed together at WrestleMania 34, with Aiden announcing the Bulgarian Brute to the ring.

The pair even won the recent Tag Team Tournament, though were unsuccessful in taking the tag gold (or rather, silver) from the New Day.

Despite this setback, the pair stuck together, until English attacked his former friend, blaming Rusev's wife Lana for the split.

The decision to split the pair has divided WWE fans, but here are 3 reasons why their split is great.

#3 Keeping Rusev fresh

Rusev wins the US Championship in November 2014

Since debuting on the WWE main roster in 2014, the Bulgarian Brute has gone through a lot, including an undefeated streak, a dreadful love-triangle, and entering the League of Nations.

Rusev Day is just the latest development for the entertaining star, but how much further could it have gone?

The chant is over with fans, no doubt, but after a year together, what else could the name had achieved.

Spitting the pair will keep Rusev fresh with fans, as he moves on to the next chapter of his fascinating career.

#2 Pushing Aiden as a singles star

As an NXT alumnus, Aiden English was part of one of the most popular teams on the yellow brand, aligning with Simon Gotch in the Vaudevillains.

After Gotch's departure, English floundered, before teaming with Rusev, though in a more managerial role than a tag wrestler.

Having the two feud could be just what the Maestro of Mayhem needs to become a developed singles star, and who knows what will come next? People said Jinder Mahal would never be WWE Champion.

#1 Face Rusev

Rusev has always been a heel in his run in WWE, or at least, is supposed to have been, despite fans cheering the Super-Athlete.

After crushing star after star during his initial year, the Bulgarian made himself one of the most feared and dominant men on the roster.

This feud with Aiden will be Rusev's first story as a fully fledged face. It'll be interesting to see how the former 2-time US Champion deals with the new dynamic.
