To think that one of WWE’s hottest acts right now was initially planned to be just a one-time gimmick is pretty hard to believe. But as it turns out that is exactly the case.
Rusev recently spoke to ESPN where he revealed that even though it might now be Rusev Day every day, that was not the initial intention at all because the first Rusev Day was only supposed to be a one-off deal.
“I had no idea what was going to happen. This was supposed to be a one-time Rusev Day thing. I never thought in a million years it was going to be what it is today. It was something we planned to do, but just for one day. But it just caught on fire ever since then. Nobody expected that.”
It’s a great thing that WWE noticed the fire they had with Rusev Day and they let it keep burning. After all, it has sparked a real career rejuvenation for The Bulgarian Brute. It just goes to show you never know what is going to catch on until you try something out.
