On Monday’s RAW, Rusev got a ton of heat by nearly kicking the head off of a “fan” who jumped in the ring while he was about to tear down the American flag. For those who have emailed in and Tweeted us asking about the angle, the military serviceman was a “plant” hired by WWE.
Correspondents who were at the show say that the “soldier” was not sitting ringside until right before the Rusev segment, which is typically how WWE handles angles with planted actors. The security guy who attempted to restrain the soldier before he got kicked by Rusev actually let him jump the ringside barricade before following him into the ring.
It was also mentioned by some of our followers that the soldier was not wearing the proper Army uniform, since his American flag was on the wrong sleeve. This is apparently something that’s done on TV and in movies all the time, since there is a law that prohibits someone acting in a TV show from wearing the official uniform.
