Will Rusev Return To The WWE In WrestleMania 41?

Rusev was released from the WWE in April 2020, and he went on to become a part of AEW under Tony Khan's leadership. But in February 2025, he was silently taken off All Elite Wrestling's roster. He last featured for them back in 2023 in a match against Andrade El Idolo.
