Apparently, there is a rumor online claiming that Rusev plans on leaving WWE after SummerSlam. It seems like these rumors pop up every few months and they get shot down. The same rumor popped up last year around SummerSlam and some fans speculated on his WWE status after he expressed unhappiness about being squashed by The Undertaker at the Greatest Royal Rumble show.
I don’t know where the rumor got started but Rusev reacted to it on Twitter when it was brought up to him by one of his followers. For the record, we haven’t heard anything about Rusev leaving the company.
It was announced earlier today that he and Lana will team up to take on Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega in a Mixed Tag Team Match on the SummerSlam Kickoff show. In recent weeks, WWE has been teasing a split between Rusev and Aiden English.
