The Twitter user named Carl Wilson tagged both Rusev and Lana in the vile and insulting tweet. “Ur just an annoying c*** we shud call u th***,” tweeted Wilson. This comment was not taken well by Rusev as he called out the hater publicly on Twitter. Rusev's response focused on the hater’s Twitter profile picture, where he can be seen with a toddler.

Why was former United States Champion Rusev released by WWE?

Rusev’s last WWE appearance was on the January 20 episode of WWE RAW where he teamed up with Liv Morgan to take on Lana and Bobby Lashley. Since then, reports started surfacing that Rusev does not want to be a part of a storyline where he has to fight with his wife Lana every day in front of millions. According to reports, Rusev wanted to leave the company in February and had several arguments with WWE officials. In April, Rusev got what he wanted and was released by the company as part of the budget cuts amid the coronavirus lockdown.
