5 steps to save SmackDown Live

Step 3: Push Rusev

Rusev has become the most over guy on SmackDown and it's not close. He's been off TV for the past few weeks, which isn't a bad thing by itself (part of what makes NXT so great is that stars stay fresh since they aren't overexposed), but this absence following a series of losses, including one to Breezango, is concerning.

Rusev should be in a far more prominent position.

SmackDown is in desperate need of top stars (more on that next), but getting big names won't come overnight. Rusev, though, has the potential to be a top star and can be used right now. Push Rusev!
