Rusev to be honored during Pride of Bulgaria Celebration

September 26, 2017

Randy Orton vs. Rusev: SmackDown LIVE, Sept. 19, 2017

WWE's Apex Predator looks to vanquish The Bulgarian Brute once and for all in this SummerSlam rematch.

Rusev was ready for a celebration last week on SmackDown LIVE after defeating Randy Orton, thanks to an assist from Aiden English. The Bulgarian Brute was caught parading backstage, chanting “Rusev, Number One!” It turns out that he is not the only one who thinks so.

WWE.com has learned that Rusev will be honored by his hometown of Plovdiv, Bulgaria during a special “Pride of Bulgaria Celebration.” Rumor has it that he may even be presented with the key to the city during what is sure to be one of the proudest moments of Rusev’s career.
