5. Rusev Not Working Clash of Champions 2016?
As we noted before, United States Champion Rusev didn’t appear on this week’s episode of Raw as he was on a honeymoon trip with his wife Lana in Dubai. It looks like he won’t be appearing on WWE programming for a while now.
Rusev tweeted that he’s a 23 day honeymoon trip with Lana, which would indicate that he won’t be working the 1st Raw exclusive PPV of the new Era, Clash of Champions 2016 (which takes place on September 25th).
Below is what Rusev tweeted:

After Roman Reigns failed to capture the Universal Title last week on Raw, there were plans for Roman to resume his feud with Rusev for the United States Championship. But with Rusev not appearing on WWE programming this month, Roman was put in the Universal Title picture (as seen on Raw).
Rusev is still expected to feud with Reigns in the coming months.
