#4 Rusev
Rusev was someone I didn’t particularly care for when he first debuted onto the main roster two years ago. His beautiful bride Lana has done a tremendous job of selling the Bulgarian Brute all this time and fans are now seeing the fruits of his labour.
As I said, the feud with him and Reigns is perhaps one of his best.
Allowing Rusev to establish dominance over the likes of Reigns and even John Cena, speaks volumes of where he is going on the Raw roster. His recent altercation with Goldberg is a pretty good indication of that. Rusev’s look screams dangerous and intense, and he proved that this year.
Even his mic-skills have gotten better, and I am excited to see what 2017 brings him. I would be 100% on board with Rusev in the Universal Title Picture in the coming months if it were to happen.
