However I do worry Rusev could end up as yet another drifting random midcarder with occasional teases but no consistent direction. Which would be a shame and waste, as he is capable of so much more. Unfortunately I am not aware of anyone that will go to bat for him backstage. Which means he has to rely on just ability to get ahead. Which usually means you have a definite ceiling in this fed.
Stop wasting his tremendous talent on crappy feuds with Dog Ziggler. You did something similar with Ryback, but you can still and you should capitalize on THIS:
Shortly after debuting in FCW, Rusev tore both his anterior cruciate ligament and his meniscus and spent six months rehabilitating. Rusev returned to FCW in March 2012 with Nick Rogers as his manager. In the summer of 2012, Rusev suffered a broken neck, temporarily paralyzing his arm. After his neck healed, Rusev made his NXT television debut on the May 30, 2013.
I think he will drag this engagement thing out until Lana comes back. At that point Lana will reunite with Rusev and they will be back as a heel power couple. Ziggler's superkick on Cena pretty much says that the Rusev/Ziggler angle is over.
Rusev is going to be fine, imo. Him and Summer have shined in this storyline despite the content they've been given being weak. But the promo last night gave both of them actual and tangible goals which half the roster don't have.
If Lana comes back to crash the wedding she better be a heel because face Lana was brutal. One of the most unlikable faces on the roster.
I think Summer is going to turn face now and join Dolph or it will be the other way around with Rusev being crushed by her for Dolph. Making Lana desperate to secretly plot revenge for poor Ru Ru :lol

he'll be back with lana as soon as she gets back, and be ok. maybe face turn? Honestly, I think this stupid angle has actually been good for him. He has become pretty good on the mic for a guy who's first language is obviously not english, and I think he will have longevity now. I kind of thought he was donezo after wrestlemania- they built this character for the express purpose of losing to the hero cena on the big stage. But now he's proven that he can participate in normal angles and do well, so he should be good.
Rusev won't end up marrying Summer because whose belt will he take? Cena? Owens? God help if Ziggler wins the US title then takes it into the continuing feud against Rusev; would be hilarious though if that happened and Summer 'teases' Dolph to steal his title to give to Rusev
Rusev is one of the few younger guys on the roster that has championship potential... But, yeah... They will probably screw it up. That's what the WWE does.
Its already happening. The guys a joke now, Was Zigglers bitch for that entire feud and now loses to everyone. He's my favourite guy on the roster, every time hes given the chance to be impressive he is impressive. Buts he's not a Vince guy or a HHH guy and hes presented as a total joke thesedays so I dont even want to waste my time pretending WWE will ever realize his talent and push him again. Of all the midcarders who have their legs taken out from under them as they near the top Rusev is the worst to me because he showed more potential than anyone else and even as he was being turned into a hapless jobber he was still delivering great promos with bad booking.
RIP The Bulgarian Brute...the Bulgarian Belly Dancer is imminent...
Rusev has so much money potential to him... dude is agile and strong af for someone 6ft and 300lbs. I swear Vince hates him because he's probably gonna end up marrying Lana, arent they engaged or live together? Dude is probably the only person on the roster that would make Brock actually look a bit not unstoppable in the ring.
