5 Former WWE Champions who could miss WrestleMania 36

#3 Rusev

The Bulgarian Brute needs to get back on his feet (or his tank)

Rusev has been one of WWE’s finest and most improved performers in the ring over the past 4 or 5 years. His performances have allowed him to win the United States Championship no less than three times, but he is slowly drowning in a sea of unlimited talent on the Red brand.

His previous feud with Bobby Lashley did not do much for the Superstar other than humiliated him in front of the WWE Universe, and the abrupt end to their extended rivalry made things worse.

The Bulgarian Brute has had very few matches on RAW recently with no real storyline in which he can progress. This will make things very difficult for the Superstar who needs to come across as a real threat before he can progress to a big feud again.

Rusev needs to regain his confidence and footing on RAW, and it seems like he won’t be able to do that within the next month, making his involvement in this year’s WrestleMania highly doubtful.

We hope Rusev will be able to recover from this rough patch soon and get better bookings, allowing him to have a great storyline and match for next year’s Show of Shows.
