Rusev Meets Someone His Own Size

On Monday, Rusev tried to assault WWE legend Hacksaw Jim Duggan. His manager Lana cut a pro-Russian promo that continues her campaign for old-fashioned heat from the WWE Universe.

Rusev was foiled by former WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E, who stormed to the ring and took a hit from the "Bulgarian Brute." This looks set to lay the groundwork for Rusev's first main feud.

Big E is a great choice. Having dropped his title to Bad News Barrett, the Floridian is in danger of falling to the lower midcard without a meaningful feud. Rusev is now ready to move away from weekly squash matches, so the rivalry will be good for both men's careers.

If the two talented Superstars are given enough time in the ring together, they have the potential to construct a great match. A strong contest would cement both big guys as amongst the top powerhouse wrestlers in the WWE today.
