Rusev Returns to WWE on RAW – The April 21st episode of WWE RAW delivered a major surprise with the return of Rusev, who made his shocking comeback during The New Day’s celebration segment.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods kicked off the festivities, basking in their WrestleMania 41 triumph where they captured the World Tag Team Championships. The crowd was firmly behind the duo as they proudly relived their championship win. However, the mood quickly shifted when Alpha Academy’s Maxxine Dupri, Otis, and Akira Tozawa interrupted the celebration, teasing an impromptu match.
Just before the action could begin, the arena lights suddenly went out. When they returned, unfamiliar entrance music played as a new titantron illuminated the screen—featuring none other than Rusev. The former WWE United States Champion received a thunderous ovation as he made his way to the ring for the first time in years.
Rusev didn’t waste any time making his presence felt. He stormed the ring and laid out both Otis and Tozawa, clearing the ring as the crowd erupted in cheers. He didn’t speak or explain his actions, leaving fans to wonder what his intentions are moving forward.
This appearance marks Rusev’s official return to WWE following his departure from AEW earlier this month. His release had fueled speculation of a WWE comeback, and with his re-debut now official, fans are eager to see what role he’ll play in WWE’s current landscape.
