WWE Extreme Rules 2016: 5 Points to note

Redesigned, Rebuilt. Returned. 
  1. Told you Momma!

Rusev is your new US Champion

Rusev is also a great character. Before the show kicked off he and Lana had a backstage interview where Rusev revealed that he called his mother and told her that he is the new United States Champion. Mind you, this is the pre–show and he hadn’t even competed in the said title match.

When the match happened, Kalisto fought his heart out. He tried using his speed and aerial moves, there were huricanranas and moonsaults but he was splattered by the power of the Bulgarian Brute.

After thumping the champion on the apron, which worried the official, Rusev pulled Kalisto in the ring to lock in the Accolade. The referee resisted. He tried a second time, the referee again did not allow him. But Rusev majestically ignores the ref and locks Kalisto in the Accolade, quickly gaining the win by submission. And we have a new champion.
