Rusev

Rusev is a professional wrestler signed to WWE currently signed to it's Smackdown brand. 
==Debut==
WWE started airing promos to promote Rusev as a Russian patriot. Although he hasn't debuted on live TV yet, he has had a dark match before the June 2 edition of RAW, in which Rusev squashed Mark Henry.
==The Bulgarian Brute==
Following the reboot of the roster in 2016, Rusev would begin an 20 week undefeated streak, defeating mainly local talent, and lower card wrestlers. This was done by order of Shane McMahon who wanted to rebuilt Rusev as a credible monster on-screen. He was purposefully kept away from Championship programs, and only lost via countout to preserve his aura of dominance. In 2017, Rusev entered his first major feud since losing to John Cena in 2015 against Roman Reigns, who Vince McMahon ordered to feud against, as the fans were rejecting the latter wrestler, and believed if Roman defeated the foreign heel, they would cheer Roman. However, like Braun Strowman, the crowd were behind Rusev, and cheered him throughout their matches. At the RAW pay-per-view Reckoning, Rusev's streak came to an end in a two-out-of-three falls match, in which Roman pinned Rusev clean twice in a row after Rusev made Roman pass out in the Accolade. This was seen as a horrible move by fans and critics, again citing the similar situation to Braun Strowman. The event caused Roman to be taken off television to work on a new character. Rusev was also taken off television for several months, as he married Lana off-screen. Upon his return, McMahon wanted Lana in the Women's Division and wanted to see if Rusev could go on his own. 
Rusev then formed a team with Aiden English and started a fan favorite movement titled "Rusev Day" which got him extremely over with the crowd, turning him face, which eventually earned him the United States Championship. However he would not hold onto the belt for long as he eventually dropped it to the returning Jeff Hardy.
Following this, Aiden English would turn on Rusev, blaming the Brute for failing to capture the Tag Team Championship. Rusev squashed Aiden in a one-sided match.
In 2019, Rusev would feud with Bobby Lashley and the Hurt Business, beating Cedrick Alexander, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP in consecutive pay-per-view matches across the year. In 2020, Lashley would coerce Lana into signing a (kayfabe) divorce document, and "married" her to get to Rusev, pushing their eventual blow off match until Rusev challenged Lashley to a Loser Leaves WWE match at WrestleMania. In reality, Rusev was infuriated with his position and direction in the company and wanted out. At WrestleMania, Lashley defeated Rusev, making him tap out to The Hurt Lock.
