The reveal that he's healed and the beat down that followed was the best part of Raw.

Dolph has been an obnoxious douche in terms of character, yeah Rusev was a dick but at least he wasn't annoying.
I popped hard for the beatdown.

Favourite part of a Raw that featured Brock Lesnar causing destruction. That's impressive.
Rusev is so good at what he does: the promo was entertaining, the beatdown was vicious and believable, the reveal of his ankle being fine was smart and something I wasn't expecting. Good, great stuff.
Rusev is so above this story. He should be feuding with Lesnar heading into Summerslam, not being brought down by Ziggler and Summer Rae.

I cheered too. Can't stand Dolph at all. He's the most annoying guy on the roster.

This week they tried to make Rusev actually look like the heel when the past few weeks it was the other way around. Even though Rusev hit Ziggler with some cheap shots, it still didn't feel too heelish given how the past month has been.

Dolph lost me when he said that Rusev only got to where he was because of Lana. Just ignore that Rusev won a whole shitload of his matches clean, it was all because of Lana.

Rusev just gets "it". I don't know how else to say it, but Rusev is incredible. I think he'll be a major player for years to come.

Double turn coming? Could be cool if done correctly.

Part of me wonders given how long Rusev was supposed to be out versus how much time he missed if WWE realized they were doing him no favors with the Cena feud and embellished a minor injury to get him the hell out of that program ASAP.

Me too. Rusev is a great performer; everything he says and does is way more convincing and believable than Dolph (and most of the roster). I can not stand the supposed-to-be-a-couple of Ziggler and Lana, it's Super corny. It's sad to see this happen to Lana after she was a stand-out as a strong women.

What they've done to Lana is bloody dumb.
With Rusev she was a strong powerful woman who had the Rusev under her control, Now she's just pathetic.
WWE booking gotta love it or Maybe Steph saw Lana and thought "only room enough for ONE powerful woman"

AMERICER IS DA BEST! DIS IS DA BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! IF YOU DON LUV 'ER, THEN YOU CAN LEAVE 'ER! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!" Seems fair to me.

I wouldn't say that Rusev came off anywhere close to the face there, but I'll be honest, I don't think I've enjoyed an annoying babyface getting destroyed that much since Lesnar threw a couch at The Miz.

How could they actually do a double turn here? That would be making the misogynistic America-hating stalker the face. Dolph isn't the best face here but at least he is like treating Lana like a person deserving of respect. I like to play along with thinking that the intended face in a feud is the actual heel but I just don't see it here like some do.
