Booking Rusev now that his and Lana's engagement is public.

Booking Rusev now that his and Lana's engagement is public.

When Rusev first entered the WWE he was an unstoppable force that dominated the roster. Hitting his stride going into Wrestlemania and his feud with John Cena. He was booked flawlessly, and his matches with Cena were some of the best stuff on TV night in and night out. All the time with Lana at his side.

Rusev would go on to loose the feud with Cena and start his program with Dolph Ziggler, this showed tons of potential as two of the best workers in the company were set to battle it out. Lana was over, the crowd and the we want Lana chants were tremendous, however they slowly faded as Lana and Rusev would break up. This caused both to loose the traction that they once had, and I think it was more harmful to Lana than to Rusev.

As fate would have it the feud with Ziggler never got to materialize into a mixed tag match that would feature Rusev and Summer Rae vs Lana and Ziggler. With Lana on the shelf this feud became very lop sided, and with no Lana staleness set in quick.

Now that Lana has been off TV, Rusev has encountered several set backs, a loss to Cesaro, and this past Monday a loss to the Big Guy Ryback.

This is where WWE should grab the bull by the horns, book Rusev to loose!

WHAT! DC WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!! IT WILL KILL HIS CAREER!

Not so fast! Rusev could handle a couple high profile losses. Have him getting frustrated, have him loosing by strange causes or have someone like Kevin Owens cheat to beat him, let there be a little sympathy from the crowd. Once he has shown his humility and the crown is feeling bad for the still heel Rusev, as we have seen he can draw compassion from the crowd even as a heel.

Once you have that cemented and Rusev is down and out in a high profile match with a top heel; well que the microphone with a loud “RUSEV CRUSH” as Lana walks from the back. Rusev could then hulk up so to speak with his fiance by his side once again, the crown will pop as their beloved Russian Lana makes her way back to the Bulgarian Brute Rusevs side. Rusev will over come his streak, and win the match as the crowd will celebrate with them being reunited. 

This will allow the ever entertaining Rusev and Lana to play to the crowd, they can make a very successful face run, maybe even capture some gold along the way.
