Unstoppable since arriving in WWE, newcomer Alexander Rusev will meet his biggest test yet when he takes on both R-Truth & Xavier Woods in a Handicap Match at Extreme Rules.
The Bulgarian Brute has obliterated all who’ve stepped before him so far, a growing list that already includes Truth and Woods in singles competition. In both of those situations, however, the rookie bruiser wasn’t content with merely improving his win-loss record.
After trouncing Woods on the April 14 episode of Raw, Rusev’s Social Ambassador, Lana, saw it appropriate to sic The Super-Athlete on Truth, who was tending to his fallen protégé. A similar scene occurred days later on SmackDown, with The Ravishing Russian ordering Rusev to “crush” Woods after Rusev had already put away The Rapping Superstar with the Accolade.
Though the 300-plus-pound Bulgarian Brute demolished Truth and Woods in singles matches — and he’s gotten the better of the two with his unprovoked post-match ambushes — will the WWE Universe learn Rusev’s limitations May 4 at Extreme Rules?
With ample motivation for retribution, can Truth, a double-tough veteran who’s held the U.S. Title and WWE Tag Team Title, help guide Woods to victory? Or will Rusev’s suffocating strength, supported by Lana’s callous coaching, once again prove too much — even against not one, but two skilled Superstars?
Catch all the action when Extreme Rules airs on WWE Network and on pay-per-view Sunday, May 4, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT!
