Rusev Wants To Fight A Celebrity At WrestleMania

It’s not that easy getting booked for WrestleMania – just ask John Cena.

In an effort to secure a spot on WWE’s biggest card of the year, SmackDown Live star Rusev put out an open challenge for celebrities to step and test their might in front of 75,000 fans.

Rusev got several responses, including actor Skylar Astin and even The Rock volunteering the services of his friend and frequent co-star, Kevin Hart.

I challenge @RusevBUL to a match at Wrestlemania. But I’m assembling my faction first! And if you think I’m outmatched, wait until you hear who I have in mind for my stable…

Actor, writer, painter, musician and podcaster Macaulay Culkin also threw his hat bunny ears into the ring and officially accepted Rusev’s challenge.

Rusev, who almost always backs up his tough talk, walked back his open challenge and claims he can’t hit the man who portrayed iconic film characters like Kevin McAllister (Home Alone) and Richie Rich.

I cannot Hit Little Kevin McAllister or Richie Rich ! https://t.co/9hvTfXUB6V

Culkin was understanding that Rusev didn’t want a piece of him and #culked him for good measure.

It's cool. I'd be doing all the hitting anyway. #youjustgotculked https://t.co/aZOz8LVthV
