Rusev tries to lock in the Accolade, but AJ counters. AJ goes for a Forearm shot, but Rusev hits shot straight to AJ’s face.
AJ locks-in the Calf Crusher and Rusev is trying to reach the bottom rope. Aiden English is pushing the bottom rope from behind the referee’s back and Rusev is able to reach the bottom rope.
That rope is getting suspiciously closer to @RusevBUL's grasp…
