The Bulgarian superstar Rusev had anticipated a big announcement during yesterday's Raw, in Nashville, the announcement was given earlier on his twitter, and as we previously reported, he would put a luxurious Maserati GranTurismo at stake for anyone who managed to slam him:
La súperestrella búlgara Rusev había anticipado un gran anuncio durante el Raw de ayer, en Nashville, el anunció se dio antes en su twitter, y como lo informamos oportunamente, pondría en juego un lujoso Maserati GranTurismo a quien lograra azotarlo al aplicarle un bodyslam:

“Tonight Raw is in my city, Nashville, here is the big announcement.”
However, during the broadcast Rusev only appeared to team up with another member of the League of Nations, Sheamus and achieve an important victory against the Lucha Dragons, and later with the rest of the League to massacre Ambrose during the main event. Nothing was mentioned on camera about the open challenge, much less did they give the Bulgarian a microphone to challenge the wrestlers in the locker room. It seemed as if it had not happened... yet it did. In videos that were published by the official WWE Universe account, you can see three attempts to lift the former WWE United States Champion, the first by social outcast Adam Rose:

The second one was the loquacious R-Truth, who immediately demanded the prize:

And just before his match against the Lucha Dragons, Rusev was encouraged by Sheamus when he was surprised by his partner, who lifted him as if it didn't take much effort, but without slamming him, just scaring him:

In the end, like other things from yesterday's Raw, it all amounted to nothing. Not even mentioned by the gladiator himself on his twitter. Creative problems are rampant in the most important company in global wrestling.
