Two Roads Diverged in A Wood
For now, then Rusev/Lana and Aiden/Nakamura will diverge towards two different paths. In the ensuing months, it is Aiden who will most realize what his choice of a path has cost him. Similarly, a direction Rusev will go on a free-fall through the rest of the year up to the next. Ruthlessly dismantled by Randy Orton, Rusev and Lana might seek comfort in their shared failures.
This is so they also understand the value of friendship as much as Aiden English learns the idea of compassion. It is so both may become worthy of the other, a classic romantic trope.
Nakamura shall move on as champion from rumoured opponents such as Rey Mysterio to a classic rivalry with former friend Daniel Bryan. These two are well aware of one another, but the x-factor is the ably supportive Aiden English.
Even then English shall bear the brunt of Nakamura's frustrations as a loser beyond title matches, with English coming back to form to help him retain gold at the TLC PPV. Aiden shall remain on thin ice with his master, the relationship falling down an even deeper rabbit hole.
