Rusev medically cleared to return to the ring
Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet reported today that Rusev has been medically cleared by doctors to return to the ring. Rusev reportedly met with WWE doctors on Tuesday and was cleared. Rusev has been out with an injured shoulder since the spring.
Rusev did upload a video on Twitter back in May demanding that SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon give him a title shot at Money in the Bank. Shane McMahon never responded and Rusev still hasn’t made an appearance on SmackDown.
If you don't want to reply to me @shanemcmahon, I come to #SDLive to get my answer. #RusevReturn pic.twitter.com/Ddu6QOSDh6

WWE cut to a commercial during Shinsuke Nakamura’s entrance last night on SmackDown and fans were not too pleased about it. SmackDown producer Road Dogg took to Twitter and responded to the criticism by posting the following:
Thanks. We run a television show, they have commercials. See how sarcasm sounds?!

No sir, we can't. You guys never cease to amaze me. It was NOT a mistake nor a poor decision. Business decisions are unpopular at times.
