Rusev made his in-ring return from shoulder surgery last night at a SmackDown house show in Vancouver, wrestling a triple threat match against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Owens won the match by pinning Zayn.
Rusev was backstage at SmackDown this past Tuesday, so his TV return seems imminent.
Here’s a far-away video of his entrance last night.
