Rusev was recently interviewed by Express Sport. During the interview, he spoke about his match against the Undertaker at the Greatest Royal Rumble event last year. The Undertaker ended up defeating Rusev in a casket match at the event.
During the interview, Rusev shared what the Undertaker told him backstage after the match.
Here is what he said:
“And ‘Taker is such a special character and he’s been here for like 30 years or whatnot. He’s a legend, he’s an icon, so getting to work with him and talk to him afterwards and pick his brains, it was a great opportunity for me.
He told me that I’m really good. I’m not even messing around, he told me I’m really good.”
Looks like Rusev received the stamp of approval from the Deadman.
On a related note, Rusev opened up about WWE’s decision to split him up with Aiden English. You can read his comments here.
