For weeks now, Rusev has been opting to avoid a confrontation with Big Cass in favor of continually abusing Enzo Amore over the whole naked-in-the-hallway-in-front-of-Lana thing. This week, however, was The Bulgarian Brute’s masterstroke: After feigning a marriage-ending fight with Rusev backstage, The Ravishing Russian lured Muscles Marinara to a hotel room — in Ric Flair’s limo, no less — under the pretense of a romantic rendezvous while Rusev seemingly prepared to take his frustrations out on Cass in the ring. Enzo arrived at the love den just as the big men were scheduled to battle, and The Super Athlete sprang his trap, destroying the beloved Superstar while Cass was helpless to intervene. Clearly, when it comes to a diabolical level of intelligence and cunning, you can’t teach that.

After defending Lana during a heated argument with Rusev, "Muscles Marinara" gets invited to The Ravishing Russian's hotel room for a night he'll never forget.
