A new vignette aired for Rusev on the April 28th episode of WWE Raw.
In the vignette, Rusev said he once had it all, including a tank at WrestleMania, but he fell into the abyss after leaving WWE. In the abyss, he found himself, redeemed himself, and fixed himself.
Rusev said he had an epiphany and was finally free to crush people because he wanted to. "I will hunt the flawed, the arrogant, and those who waste their talent like I did." Rusev said he will hunt, forgive, and fix his opponents like he fixed himself.
RUSEV is here to REDEEM.
