Rusev and the popular fast-food chain, Wendys, have been having a bit of a back and forth on social media recently.
The Rusev/Wendys interaction started not long after the restaurant announced plans for January 4th to be “National Roast Day”.
One year ago we roasted someone so badly they deleted their account.
Join us here Thursday, January 4th as we celebrate #NationalRoastDay

A fan responded to the post by simply wishing them a “Happy Rusev Day”.
We scheduled it just in time for Rusev Day, and then we'll be ready for Rusev Day, followed by Rusev Day.

Upon finding out about this, Rusev made a special request of Wendys:
As a former employee at @Wendys instead of drawing W on the burgers you should do RD for #RusevDay !!

Apparently, Rusev is a former Wendys employee.
Rusev Day
The belief is Rusev Day t-shirts are selling well as WWEShop initially ran out of stock not long after announcing the shirt’s release.
Having debuted at the Royal Rumble in 2014, Rusev has been on the main roster for 4 years now and could be in-line for a considerable push given his recent popularity.
Happy Rusev Day!
