The undefeated run for Rusev has long been linked to speculation of a blockbuster feud with John Cena at Wrestlemania 31. The feud was rumoured to start at the Royal Rumble with the Russian costing the WWE World Heavyweight title match for Cena.
The current billing for the live event coming from Madison Square Garden slated for February 27th involves John Cena teaming with Randy Orton to take on Rusev & Seth Rollins. As there has been no interaction between Cena and Rusev so far, there is also the possibility that this could be a live event angle in build up to Wrestlemania 31.
Other matches advertised for the next MSG show include Kane vs. Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt vs.Roman Reigns, Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose and an appearance by Chris Jericho.
