6 wrestling rumors we hope are true & 6 we hope aren't: Triple H 'obsessed' with surprising Superstar, WWE planning massive dream match for Brock Lesnar? 

#5. Hope isn't true: WWE has nothing for Rusev

Another loss of momentum

Rusev has noticeably been absent from WWE television ever since the road to WrestleMania started. It was a bit surprising since Liv Morgan and Lana had two matches in two weeks and neither Rusev nor Lashley was present.

The two were advertised for the Royal Rumble match and didn't even end up appearing, which seemed to be a big error on WWE's part for announcing 27 competitors beforehand, to begin with.

Either way, Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio said that the reason why Rusev hasn't been on TV is that there's nothing planned for him creatively:

---

Bryan Alvarez: Where the hell has Rusev been?

Meltzer: They don’t have anything for him right now.

Alvarez: So you’re telling he did that whole storyline and divorcing his wife and this whole deal and now they got nothing for the guy?

---

We hope this isn't true because it confirms that the entire love triangle storyline was utterly pointless. Not that it wasn't anyway, but Rusev somehow got over despite the circumstances. This is another major blow to him.
