It looks as if Kevin Owens is set to replace Rusev while the latter is out injured. Owens is advertised for all RAW tapings through the end of July. This includes the RAW dark match main event for June 8th, which is John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins, Kane, and Owens.
The July 15th RAW taping, and all tapings until the end of July, has the same six-man tag match advertised but with Big Show instead of Kane. Owens is also advertised for several house shows and Battleground in July, although he is not (yet) advertised for Money in the Bank.
Rusev’s next advertised TV appearance is the RAW taping on August 3rd in San Jose, though he is also set for some house shows in July.
