Rusev has the fight of his life coming up on April 27th when he faces The Undertaker in a Casket Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
TMZ Sports caught up with Rusev and Lana in Los Angeles, CA this week and asked the WWE power couple about the upcoming match. Rusev said The Undertaker is a legend, but so is he. They said The Undertaker is past his prime, while Rusev is the stronger, faster and overall better athlete.
When asked about the fact that WWE won’t be bringing any of the female performers to Saudi Arabia later this month, Rusev said Lana “has more important things to do” at home.
