3. One Night In Milwaukee Segment

One of the biggest developments in the WWE came courtesy of the fallout of Rusev Day last week.  Aiden English turned on Rusev a couple weeks ago, but what he would do last week was the truly shocking part of the entire situation moving forward.

English explained that Lana is the reason why he ultimately turned on Rusev because things were great before she joined the picture.  He took it a step further by saying something happened between English and Lana in Milwaukee a while back, leading to a lot of speculation.  English said he had video evidence and he would present it on last night’s show.

Rusev and Lana came out to the ring and called out English to show his proof, and he obliged.  The video was taken in English’s hotel room where Lana would eventually enter it.  She said there was something she wanted to talk to English about before eventually saying she wanted English.  There is more to the video, but English said he couldn’t play it all at once.

The Bulgarian Brute tried to chase down English backstage, but he was unable to find him and he did get a little chippy with Lana, who said that video isn’t what Rusev thinks it is.  This segment was highly anticipated, but it felt like a bit of a letdown at the end of the day.  There will be more in the coming weeks, but last night was key to the storyline.

It’s starting to feel like English is just toying with Rusev and Lana, but the bulk of the situation will come to light soon it appears.
