Rusev is expected to be at WWE SmackDown Live this Tuesday, according to PWInsider. We’ll see if WWE decides to bring him back on TV or holds off on his return again.
It was reported a couple of days ago that he has been officially cleared to return after undergoing shoulder surgery in March.
WWE seemed to be doing an angle last month where Rusev demanded a title match from Shane McMahon at Money in the Bank, but that angle was then dropped without explanation, seemingly when WWE decided to push Jinder Mahal. Definitely will be good to see Rusev back.
