It is once again “Rusev Day” in WWE.
After wrapping up a multi-year run as Miro in AEW, the former WWE Superstar Rusev made his long-awaited return to WWE on the special annual edition of Raw After Mania.
During the April 21, 2025 episode of Raw on Netflix at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV., Rusev made a surprise return out of nowhere during a promo segment between The New Day and Alpha Academy.
Just as it appeared that an impromptu WWE Tag-Team Championship match was going to take place between the two teams, the lights went out, the music hit, and Rusev emerged to a roar from the “Sin City” crowd.
Rusev hit the ring and took out everyone in sight as the the sustained roar from the crowd continued to grow.
