Rusev, who trolls on Twitter with the best of them, tweeted a response to the stat this afternoon. He joked, "Knowing how things are they probably won't even let me be number 1!!!"
Although he has won some matches on SmackDown Live, his last win on PPV came back at Roadblock: End of the Road in 2016 where he defeated Big Cass via count-out.
It appears that WWE is going in the direction of furthering a program that will see Rusev and Nakamura feud with The New Day. Perhaps a match that could take place on the WrestleMania 35 Kickoff Show might be in their future.
