5 men who could eliminate Kurt Angle from the Royal Rumble if he returns

#2 Rusev

I for one have always seen the Bulgarian brute as an underrated figure in the WWE. For a man that has been in the ring with every single top star and part-timer in the WWE today, he sure doesn't get the respect he deserves.

In 2015, Rusev was an unstoppable foreigner laying waste to everything in his path, even after his first loss at the hands of John Cena he was still booked strong. It was after the Roman Reigns train came running through that his career took a turn for the worse.

Night after night, spear after spear and superman punch after superman punch, Rusev's stock dwindled. From then on, every single part-timer that came back gave Rusev their finishing move.

Shawn Michaels, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar have all left the Bulgarian's carcass laying out in recent years.

Now it's time to finally use a part-timer to elevate the company's best heel. If the symbol of American pride can get eliminated by the anti-USA Bulgarian, it sends Rusev to another level entirely.
