For a modern version, I'd say give it a twist. Have the wrestler use a different moveset while under the mask. Like when Cody Rhodes was Stardust, he used variations of his standard moveset. It would still be clear that the masked wrestler was the same guy as the one who got "fired", but having them wrestle differently would give a bit more plausible deniability, especially in a company where you're trained to only use 5 to 10 moves that the audience can easily recognize.
"Sure, that Mr. Bulgaria looks like Rusev, sounds like Rusev, and talks about celebrating Rusev Day a lot, but did Rusev ever do a gutwrench powerbomb? No! So he can't possibly be Rusev!"

In a tongue in cheek way, yeah. Online you'd get the same reactions you get to Mr. America now though: "That was SOOOO stupid!"
No shit, it was supposed to be.

To make it even wackier, Lana doesn't even know it's him.
