5 Things you may have forgotten about Miro fka Rusev

#3 Rusev only held one title in WWE

Rusev is a three-time United States Champion

Rusev was signed for a total of 10 years with WWE. He spent four of it on the company's developmental territory FCW (later renamed NXT) and the remaining on the main roster. While Rusev fought for the NXT Championship only three times on the Black and Yellow brand, he never managed to capture the belt.

On the main roster, the story was actually quite different. Within a few months of arriving on RAW, Rusev became one of the most popular mid-card stars on the brand and soon found himself winning his first title in WWE, the United States Championship, by defeating Sheamus in a dark match on RAW.

Rusev held the belt for 146-days before he dropped it to 16-time World Champion John Cena in a match at WrestleMania 31. Rusev then continued to lurk around the mid-card title picture but didn't get a chance to win the gold until 2016, when he defeated Kalisto to become the new United States Champion for 126 days.

Rusev's next title win came in 2018 when he feuded with Shinsuke Nakamura and defeated him to make himself the United States Champion for a third time.

Despite winning the United States Championship on three different occasions, it's the only title the Bulgarian Superstar ever held, even though he multiple times chased after other mid and major-card championships.
