The whole idea of pairing Lana and Bobby Lashley was probably to get Rusev over as a babyface and it seems to be working, with the crowd chanting 'Rusev Day' in unison almost every week. This week, he took on No Way Jose scoring a pretty easy victory but it was what happened after the match that made the news.

Rusev performed a Rusev-A-Rooni, which is obviously a tribute to WWE legend Booker T, to the delight of the crowd. It is clear that he's going to be positioned as one of the top faces of RAW going forward.

Many had wanted this push back when Rusev had the WWE Universe on his side thanks to 'Rusev Day'. That gimmick seems to have returned which is yet another guarantee that Rusev will be showcased in a big way.

I do hope that Rusev becomes WWE Champion sometime soon.
