7 Ways Rusev and Lana’s Engagement Affects WWE

4. Rusev’s Character Has to Change

It’s been an issue for awhile, because Rusev wasn’t exactly thriving since his character lost Lana. He used to be unbeatable, but now he’s getting beaten on a really consistent basis. He lost a ton of his momentum and the Summer Rae marriage angle wouldn’t have worked either.

Now that Rusev and Lana are back on television, someone has to question which way they align. Is Rusev turning face, admitting his mistakes and becoming the man Lana deserves in the eyes of the fans, or is Lana turning heel again? That’s the question WWE has to answer because they can’t just put them together like they were the entire time on WWE programming. That’s lazy and frankly, insulting to the consistent fans.
