According to sources, there is talk within WWE of doing a double-turn on SmackDown! Live for Rusev and Tye Dillinger. Dillinger is currently working as a babyface under his current persona while Rusev has been a heel for his entire WWE career.
Rusev is popular among some fans who continue to cheer him despite his heel gimmick. The fans seem to dig his new “Rusev Day” catchphrase. The idea is that some fans are able to see his real personality on WWE Total Divas and that’s why some are cheering him.
During a WWE live event in Raleigh, NC recently, Rusev and Dillinger had a match where they performed a double turn. The crowd was cheering heavily for Rusev in the end, although there were still “10” chants for Dillinger. According to fan reports, the “10” chants were said to have been similar to the “What?!” chants that are often used at WWE live events.
Although it’s not confirmed as of this writing, it’s possible WWE may do this angle on television as live events are used to “test the waters” for future angles on TV. Rusev is currently feuding with The New Day while Tye Dillinger isn’t currently featured in any feud.
