WWE Battleground 2017: Biggest winners and losers

Loser #3) Rusev

If only Rusev had a chance of winning here

You gotta feel for Rusev. After the Superstar Shakeup, there were vignettes of him demanding a WWE Championship opportunity and perhaps even getting one until those plans were abruptly brought to an end without any explanation.

Now, returning against John Cena in a Flag match at WWE Battleground 2017, there was no way things were going to work out for The Bulgarian Brute. He put on a good show but the ridiculous stipulation combined with the loss ensures that Ru-Ru is left without any momentum to speak of going into WWE Summerslam 2017.
