WWE has confirmed that Rusev will be hosting a body slam contest on RAW tonight. WWE issued the following:
“If you’re a WWE Superstar in the market for a Maserati GranTurismo who’s also known for your bodyslam acumen, boy, are you in luck. After teasing a big “announcement” yesterday on Twitter, resident League of Nations heavy-hitter and former U.S. Champion Rusev issued an open challenge to the WWE locker room over his account. He’s placing the keys to a Maserati on the line to any Superstar who can lift him up and slam him down on tonight’s Raw.
No small amount of strength-inclined WWE Superstars will be expected to take the challenge — Ryback and Big Show are a couple of obvious candidates — but given that anything can happen in WWE, it’s a solid bet someone unexpected will take The Bulgarian Brute up on his offer. Suddenly, that image of El Torito peeling out in a sleek machine doesn’t sound so farfetched, does it? Tune in at 8/7 C live on USA Network to see who answers the call.”
WWE airs RAW live from Nashville, TN at the Bridgestone Arena. Rusev and Lana live in the city.
