Rusev debuted on the main roster as a stereotypical Anti-American foreign heel. However, his journey in the WWE has seen him break free of the stereotype and allowed him to showcase more of his actual personality – witty, creative, funny and extremely entertaining. He’s become a staple of the main roster, competing against the cream of the crop on both RAW and SmackDown Live.
Interestingly enough, it took him four years after his main roster debut to even get a singles world title shot. He’s always been presented as a big threat and as the years have passed, fans have grown to love him more, especially seeing how great he is out of character. Off-screen, fans have seen that he’s a naturally charming and funny guy, making him far more likable than what’s presented on screen. Thankfully, he’s been given the freedom to show his real side.
He’s had some incredible moments in his WWE run, and these are the best five.
