Many fans have been wondering where the heck is Rusev. He appeared in a video that aired on Smackdown Live several weeks ago. The ‘Bulgarian Brute’ demanded a WWE Championship opportunity from Shane McMahon at Money in the Bank.
Rusev even announced that he was coming to Smackdown to confront Shane but as we know now, this never ended up happening.
Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Rusev has officially been cleared by WWE doctors. The report says that Rusev met with WWE doctors on Tuesday and was fully cleared to return.
Rusev suffered a shoulder injury back in March that required surgery.
It is still unclear if this means that he will be appearing on WWE television soon but it seems like a good indicator.
It has been a good week for WWE on the injury front. We have seen reports over the past two days on both Braun Strowman and Paige possibly coming back soon. Also, Pro Wrestling Sheet reported earlier in the week that Dash Wilder has been cleared to return from his broken jaw.
