Rusev recently retweeted a story about his dismal PPV record over the last two years where he has had zero wins. Rusev responded, “I was told it’s not about wins and losses.” This is topical because AEW has wanted to make wins and losses matter in their promotion. In December, Rusev defeated Shinsuke Nakamura on an episode of SmackDown LIVE to win The WWE United States Title. This past weekend he lost the title to Shinsuke Nakamura during The Royal Rumble Kickoff Show. Nakamura would then lose the title to R-Truth on this week’s episode of SmackDown LIVE. Rusev then got a shot against R-Truth shortly after, but would come up short.
