Mustafa Ali has just entered the fray but it's been a while before he enters this league of extraordinary gentlemen. But on the other hand, there are several heels in the brand.
Rusev could go on to have a great feud with Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Zelina Vega, down the line. He could even take on Randy Orton and his newfound mean streak. Who wouldn't want to see Samoa Joe and Rusev lock horns down the line?

And now you know why Rusev became United States Champion.
