Another Injured WWE Star Reportedly Cleared to Return to the Ring

June 14, 2017

As we have been noting throughout the week, several injured WWE stars have received clearance to return to the ring, and yet another name has been added to that list.

As seen on Raw and Smackdown this week, injured stars Emma and Zack Ryder made their TV returns, and we reported yesterday that both Braun Strowman and The Revival’s Dash Wilder have been cleared to return.

Pro Wrestling Sheet is now reporting that Smackdown Live star Rusev has been cleared to return to the ring, as he met with doctors yesterday and was given clearance.

Rusev has been out of action since undergoing shoulder surgery back in March, and to hype his return to WWE TV he has been petitioning Smackdown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon for a WWE Title match at WWE Money in the Bank.

As of this writing, it remains unknown when The Bulgarian Brute will return to WWE TV, but he is indeed medically cleared to step back into the ring.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
