Last week Rusev and Lana announced to the world they are engaged. This has to be one of the best times in their personal lives but their public declaration will have serious professional consequences. If fans ever wanted to know that the Smarks mean when we talk about guys getting buried, this will exhibit A of how talent can get their careers ripped a part.
Now getting married shouldn’t be that big of a deal at work but when you work in a world where you are pretending it is real things can get kind of tricky. The crime actually isn’t the engagement but sharing it with the world. Kind of ironic that the man who told the world that wrestling is fake would have punish one of his wrestlers for exposing the business.
Honestly Rusev and Lana sharing their pending nuptials had me happy that it would end the horrible story that they were trapped in. The whole mix up love situation with Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae was dragging along and getting kind of pointless. Especially when they have Dolph on Total Divas professing his love for Nikki Bella. The splitting up of Rusev and Lana on screen was obvious mistake.
Now the writers could run with this and I could make a case since John Cena is taking some time off that Rusev takes the open challenge and surprise the world since we don’t know when Lana is coming back. Bringing her out would get a huge pop as the fan base can get behind and now their union intact the big man can conquer the man who broke him down originally. The problem is that is not going to happen. The quick work loss to Ryback on RAW last week will be the norm for the man from Bulgaria for a while.
