The RAW after WrestleMania always brings surprises, and this year’s April 21 edition at T-Mobile Arena delivered in a big way with the long-awaited return of Rusev.
The New Day had just entered the ring for a face-off with Alpha Academy when the lights went dark and unfamiliar music hit. Moments later, “Rusev” appeared on the screen as the Bulgarian Brute stormed the ring, returning to WWE for the first time in years.
The Las Vegas crowd exploded as Rusev marched down the ramp and attacked Alpha Academy’s Otis and Akira Tozawa. The New Day stepped aside to let the chaos unfold, and by the end of the beatdown, the arena was shaking with chants of “Rusev Day.”
Reports had already suggested Rusev signed a ne
w WWE deal after an underwhelming run in AEW, where he was benched for long stretches. Monday’s RAW confirmed what many hoped: Rusev is officially back and wasting no time making an impact.
