Big Show And Rusev Will Try It Again

The Rock made a surprise return last week and had a segment with Rusev and Lana. You don't need me telling you that. That means the match that was advertised between Big Show and Rusev on Raw last week did not happen. They will supposedly have it this week.

That little interruption from The Rock did not really hurt this feud between Rusev and Big Show. As I pointed out last week, there is plenty of time to build up this feud between Rusev and Big Show. I was wondering why they were so eager to have another match between the two. Save it for Hell in a Cell. They had to have had something more planned with this feud. I doubt it was an appearance from The Rock. Nevertheless, they had that extra time available there to have The Rock come back and have a great moment. More surprise moments like that might help ratings in the long run. As far as Rusev/Big Show goes, the WWE can go back to developing that and there is still time to do it well.

Should The Rock be the man to beat Rusev? The only full-time performer I can imagine beating Rusev is John Cena. It would also be nice if Jack Swagger was considered to still do it, since his gimmick fits so well against Rusev and he has done a good job in getting over. I do not think that one is likely. The Rock is a part-timer. Would it be a waste of all they have put into Rusev to have The Rock beat him? Should that go to a full-timer? The Rock obviously does not need the win. And I doubt that confrontation last week needs to lead to a feud. You also have the issue of how much longer the WWE can keep Rusev undefeated before he runs out of credible opponents. I am definitely not saying they should feed him The Rock just to make him look good. I do not think there is any need to follow up on that confrontation from last week at all. The WWE will definitely be mentioning it to create interest that The Rock might come back, but I doubt he will for a feud against Rusev.
