In WWE storyline, Rusev has been having a rough go of it as of late. His wife Lana is now with Bobby Lashley and claimed to be pregnant and Rusev himself was forced to publicly admit he’s a sex addict. Rusev addressed the polarizing storyline recently in an interview with the Irish Sun. During the interview, Rusev noted that both he and Lana have had input into the direction of the storyline.
“It’s a collaboration,” Rusev said. “There’s adjustments that we make, but that’s just life.”
“We’re committed to our characters on TV, so we just have to make slight adjustments, but we’re professionals and we’re coping with it,” he continued. “It’s great, I think we are in the best storyline currently going on and the best storyline that’s been around for years.”
Rusev continued to talk about how the angle is getting a lot of views.
“It’s getting a lot of views and a lot of eyes on it. Some people like it, some people love it, but at the end of the day, it’s the hottest storyline going on.”
Rusev would then compare his current storyline with others he’s worked in the past.
“One day you ride a tank but the next day, you do nothing but main event dark matches so it’s a big wave, you just gotta ride the wave and do the best with anything that is given to you,” Rusev continued.
“You gotta enjoy everything you do, and you gotta control what you can control because some things you can’t, and there’s no point being mad so whatever I can control, I do, and if not, I’m just having a blast with it.”
