If you haven’t watched last night’s WWE Smackdown Live main event, then you might not be aware of the gauntlet match against Big E Langston, Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, Rusev, and The Miz.
Last night, Daniel Bryan and Big E started the match, and Bryan was able to pin Big E. Samoa Joe replaced Big E and faced Daniel Bryan in a gruesome match, but Bryan outsmarted Samoa Joe and took the victory.
The Bludgeon brothers then interrupted the match, and that gave The Miz a shot to pin Daniel Bryan. The final contenders were The Miz vs Rusev, and it was Rusev Day that came out victorious.
The winner of the gauntlet match will face AJ Styles for the WWE Championship, and Rusev finally got his first shot at the WWE title at Extreme Rules.
Boy what a #RusevDay …….

Author’s Take
Finally, Rusev got his opportunity after competing in the mid-card level matches. You can say that hard work finally paid off. If his leaves arena as WWE Champion at Extreme Rules, then Rusev is going to be the main event star soon.
