Rusev amazingly claims he helped set up affair storyline with wife Lana and Bobby Lashley

 

WWE star Rusev has hit back at critics suggesting that his storyline with wife Lana and Bobby Lashley has been designed to humiliate him...by revealing he has been collaborating on it.

 

"It's a collaboration ... There's adjustments that we make, but that's just life. We're committed to our characters on TV, so we just have to make slight adjustments, but we're professionals and we're coping with it."

 

"It's great, I think we are in the best storyline currently going on and the best storyline that's been around for years. It's getting a lot of views and a lot of eyes on it. Some people like it, some people love it, but at the end of the day, it's the hottest storyline going on."

 

He added (spoiler for length):

 

"My goal is to be healthy, that's my first-and-foremost. It doesn't matter about storylines or things like that.

 

"One day you ride a tank but the next day, you do nothing but main event dark matches so it's a big wave, you just gotta ride the wave and do the best with anything that is given to you.

 

"You gotta enjoy everything you do, and you gotta control what you can control because some things you can't, and there's no point being mad so whatever I can control, I do, and if not, I'm just having a blast with it."

lmao

 

or they are just people that are fine with it and making money.

 

I can see them trying really hard to make it work. a lot of babyfaces in this position wouldn't get cheered, but Rusev is still over. They went and draw this one out without still having a match. Usually this would go like, 2-3 weeks of weak promos and a series of matches for a month at least. And everything would fall flat and get no reaction whatsoever in week 2. Instead, here they are focused on the buildup with trash segments. Hell, I doubt they aren't so trashy looking on purpose. And when Rusev finally gets an upper hand it will be in a match and a big win, and the crowds will cheer. Unless of course Lashley wins that one in some overbooked trash, but since Rusev never got the upper hand yet... I doubt it.

 

I mean, I'm not defending it, it's still trash, but I wouldn't dismiss it so quickly that Lana and Rusev aren't having any kind of fun with it.

 

At this point the only major problem I have with it is that the role that Lana is having is sexist as *Censored* and the whole alpha vs beta stuff is super cringey.

my question is what is the end game? are they trying to Macho-Miss Elizabeth this shit? hard to do that with Lana being such a piece of shit here. is Lashley gonna start being abusive and eventually push her back to Rusev? theres no ending that would be worth any of this.
