Rusev last wrestled at the WWE Super Showdown event in Saudi Arabia. He took part in the battle royal at the event.
Prior to this, Rusev last wrestled in May during WWE’s European tour.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer provided a tidbit about where Rusev has been.
According to Meltzer, Rusev is not injured. He hasn’t been around much lately because he recently asked for some time off from WWE. This time off was granted.
He is expected to return shortly, so this doesn’t appear to be a long-term absence for the ‘Bulgarian Brute’.
What would you like to see WWE do with Rusev when he returns? Are you digging the Rusev-Shinsuke Nakamura tag team or would you like to see them go their separate ways? Let me know in the comment section below.
