Swagger/Rusev feud reportedly cancelled.

[Just Kevin]

​

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE may have canceled the planned feud between Jack Swagger and Rusev, as the decision was made during Monday's creative meetings to not go through with a planned idea to have the two "face each other at several pay-per-views."

The reason for this decision has not been made clear as of yet, though there is heavy speculation that it may have to do with Lana's promo at the recentBattleground event, in which she mentioned that the United States is blaming Russia for "recent current events," As previously reported, many people were said to be outraged over the promo and have concluded it to be a reference to the recent Malaysian Airlines disaster, though WWE recently issued a statement claiming that Lana's Battleground promo "was in no way referring" to the tragedy.

They had a run in on Main Event.

Yeah, I saw they cancelled Sheamus' appearance and made it Swagger/Rusev instead.. it seems they are somewhat limiting Lana's talk time now though... she was on the mic less than 2 minutes.. flashed the picture of Putin then got out of the ring.

Probably because the shows only an hour.

Stop making sense dammit!

 

[Dat Kid1]

Probably cancelled because Swagger injured people recently

I was actually looking forward to this feud.

I'd be stunned if anyone who actually watches or even follows the product was offended by Lana's promo.
No reason to cancel the angle. If anything else they can use the free publicity.

Art imitates life. That's the best part. Im pissed if it wasn't a reference.

Sandow would put both Rusev and Swagger in their places if the WWE let him but hey, I'm just a simple Sandow mark trying to get my boy some attention

 

[Danielson]

What's he going to do? Dress up like Rocky and fight Ivan Drago. Sandow is a nerd

 

[Trip in the Head]

This is some BULLshit if its true damn it. What the hell? :facepalm1: Damn you WWE

Canceling the feud would be very pussified (which isn't an actual word, but what the hell) of them. People whine and complain that there isn't enough "attitude" on the show these days, but then once the WWE shows a little edge and actually gets some real heat on someone, a certain group of people (probably some of the very same people) then complain that they're "taking things too far."

I personally didn't mind the reference to MH17, nor would I mind Rusev doing something like stomp on the American Flag or something. I'd even love for Lana to cut a pro-Russian/anti-American promo while members of the Armed Forces were sitting right there at ringside. That'd be great.
