Former champion confirms when he'll return to Smackdown Live

This is good news.

Former WWE United States Champion Rusev has been out of action for several months now, but the Bulgarian Brute is returning very soon — next week, actually.

In a new tweet, Rusev revealed that he'll be making his return to WWE television next week on Smackdown Live, and he's gunning for Shane McMahon.

Here's the video that Rusev sent out Tuesday:

 

Rusev appears to be focused on getting an answer from Shane McMahon regarding his title-shot demand that he made in a pre-taped promo that aired on Smackdown Live a few weeks ago.

McMahon has not responded at this point, so Rusev is returning to TV to end all the speculation.

Rusev had should surgery earlier this year, which put him on the shelf, so he may finally be ready to go and we just may see Rusev in a WWE ring again very soon.
