On the latest episode of his “Oh…You Didn’t Know” podcast, Road Dogg talked about the WWE Extreme Rules 2018 pay-per-view event. This is where Rusev, now known as Miro in AEW, worked with AJ Styles in a WWE Title match.
During the podcast, the former WWE wrestler shared his belief that Rusev could’ve been WWE Champion. He said,
“Of course, he could be a champion, honestly. He could have beat AJ [Styles at Extreme Rules 2018] that night and been the champion. And I’ll tell you why. I think him and Lana were a great package. I think she was beautiful to look at. He was a killer.
“I think it was a great package. I think it was right out of central casting for Rocky 17, you know, and they worked perfectly together. He got in shape. He was legitimately hilarious when he would speak in broken English.
“He could have been an entertaining babyface or a heel champion because I do think the promos would have been, could have been, classic and we would have had a ‘Rusev Day’ every year and had a big celebration. So yeah, he definitely could have been the man. Maybe he still will be, you know what I mean?”
