Rusev is far too talented an individual to be sitting on the sidelines while the others get their opportunities. One way to bring him back into the spotlight would be to have him become Corbin's sidekick for the immediate future. By doing this, it ensures that he stays on TV for at least a spell.
Rusev is one of those individuals who will fare much better on WWE RAW than he could on SmackDown Live anyway. There are limited spots on the blue brand and so many superstars end up not getting showcased. I mean you had the Riott Squad split up but Liv Morgan's been absent from the blue brand, since the recent Superstar Shake-Up anyway.
Maybe having Rusev on RAW would at least help him in making a fresh start. Rusev Day was the biggest thing in the world not long ago, and now he's not even on TV.
