...something's really going on with WWE and Rusev right? Or is this 4D-chess-kayfabe-bruthur??

I hope the next step is Rusev vs. Chris Jericho in a casket match.

Nothing's going on with WWE and Rusev.
They probably switched to Jericho because Jericho's a better worker, better at being a heel and getting heat, more popular and a bigger draw. People saw this and assumed Rusev was being buried (especially given they misunderstood Michelle's tweet) and considering the Rusev comments they said "well f*** we'll put him back in the match" and now he's back in the match.

I wonder what Jericho thinks about this.

On the one hand, your answer comes as close to making sense as any of this does. On the other hand, they're hauling Roman Reigns halfway across the planet just to put the title on him in front of an audience that won't boo, so I find it hard to believe they made this change due to public opinion.

It sucks that the women aren't allowed to wrestle. Wwe should have refused this show as a protest and to show support that women are equal to the men. Bullshit. Or at least an all women Network Special later down the line. If there’s enough backlash I could see WWE doing that for damage control. As for why they why they didn’t refuse to do the show, the answer is obvious and has already been mentioned. The Saudi Royal Family threw a slew of money at Vince.

My hype just went down 20% for this event. Yeah lets just take one of the biggest legends with tons of hype around this year out for some random midcarder with a stupid catchphrase. I like Rusev in the mid card but he doesn´t have anything to do with Taker and probably can´t even get a good match out of him.

I like Rusev in the mid card but he doesn´t have anything to do with Taker and probably can´t even get a good match out of him. I’m still hyped for the show, but Jericho definitely would have been the better opponent for him. Not because Rusev is midcard for life as I think with the right booking he could be an upper micarder or main eventer, but at this stage in his career Undertaker really needs a good ring General to work with him. Rusev can have great matches with the right opponent and even some fun matches with avergage to below average guys. But at this point the Lesnar, Roman, and Shane matches all showed that Undertaker really can’t be thrown in there with just anyone. Jericho might have a hard time getting a great match out of the Undertaker at this point, but he’d have a better chance than Rusev.

I’m pretty sure who ever is facing taker is going to take a fast ass kicking chokeslam, tombstone, in to the box

I’m pretty sure who ever is facing taker is going to take a fast ass kicking chokeslam, tombstone, in to the box I dunno if it could even BE fast... The WrestleMania match with Cena was Undertaker playing all the hits and even THAT took a couple of minutes.

The WrestleMania match with Cena was Undertaker playing all the hits and even THAT took a couple of minutes. They did a post show casket match at a smackdown in like 09. Taker jugged to the ring hit big show with a chokeslam threw him in the casket and left. It’s doable. I just have a feeling we are getting something like that
