As of right now, Rusev does not have an opponent for WrestleMania 34. He recently lost to Shinsuke Nakamura at the “Fastlane” pay-per-view, and lost to AJ Styles by disqualification this past week on “Smackdown Live.”
You can see a clip of that match below:
As a result of not having a match, Rusev sent out the following tweet, indicating that he wants to face a celebrity at WrestleMania:
I need a celebrity to fight me at #WrestleMania34 ! #RusevDay

It would seem that a celebrity has stepped up to the plate, as Macaulay Culkin sent the following tweets in response to Rusev’s request:
I'll take you on. Back alley brawl?

BREAKING NEWS: I am officially accepting @RusevBUL challenge to wrestle him at this year's Wrestlemania. You heard it here first, folks.
Come at me, bro!
— Macaulay Culkin (@IncredibleCulk) March 16, 2018
Not to be outdone, Rusev’s partner, Aiden English, chimed in on the challenge. This led to a response by Culkin:
I see you @IncredibleCulk ?
…careful now.

I'll make #wrestlemania into #culkamania! I'll make everyday #culkinday!
Besides, I have @StephenAmell in my corner… Right?
— Macaulay Culkin (@IncredibleCulk) March 16, 2018
Culkin is, of course, best known for his role as Kevin McCallister in the first two entries in the “Home Alone” movie franchise.
Editor’s Opinion:
While I would love to see Rusev in a meaningful singles match at WrestleMania, having him participate against a celebrity would be very entertaining. It might even give him one of the most talked about moments of the show, which is never a bad thing!
