WWE did an angle where Lana posted on Twitter that she “refuses” to let Rusev compete in a casket match.

All over the world, little boys and girls are celebrating #RusevDay, they smile for the greatest Superstar ever ! I’ve already spoke with @WWE officials to change that match because I REFUSE to let my husband @RusevBUL compete in a Casket Match at #WWEGRR! Happy #RusevDay

Jericho was previously announced as part of the 50-man Royal Rumble match.

Rusev poked at the match announcement on Twitter yesterday, saying “bury me softly, brother.”
