Cena could turn heel by threatening to hurt Lana, forcing Rusev to quit. Just kidding.

Rusev is basically a face anyway. He came from humble beginnings to be plucked by a nation as its adopted champion, based only on his abilities. His hard-earned talent allowed him to excel against all opponents, winning the US Title from a bully, only to be stopped by a loud-mouthed American who capitalized on the injuries sustained to Rusev's corner woman at WrestleMania.
Rusev carries the pressure of a nation and the desire to prove himself everytime he gets into the ring. He'll make an amazing babyface once Cena turns and aligns himself with the woman he has been sleeping with behind Nikki's back, Lana. Just kidding. |

Cena vs Umaga was actually pretty perfect for Umaga. It was a great match, it took everything Cena had to put Umaga down and they moved on with Umaga still being a fucking beast. If they had moved on from Cena-Rusev at WrestleMania with Rusev having the Lana excuse, Rusev could have continued to look strong with his only loss coming against John fucking Cena with some unintentional help. That's a much better option to get the loss out of the way than trying to use Rusev to put a guy below him over.
Unfortunately they decided to keep having matches where Rusev could eliminate any doubt about the fact that he's not as good as Cena which is gonna fuck things up. |

I still maintain that Rusev should have sold the loss a bit harder. It was the first time he was pinned, with the weight of an entire nation on his back -- that's a reason for a guy to be a little lost mentally.
Cena was doing the open challenge thing, which could have segued into a large number of things. We didn't need the third chapter of Cena vs. Rusev right away, if at all. Allow Cena to settle in as the new United States Champion, and then consider bringing Rusev back to settle the score. |

Maybe Rusev will dump Lana for Heyman.

We need a damn new Heyman Guy. Not really Rusev but someone. This sucks.
