During Monday night’s WWE RAW broadcast, Rusev made his return. He was revealed as the “father” of Maria Kanellis’ child. Seriously.
Rusev was last seen on WWE television in June. During the gender reveal party for Maria and Mike Kannellis’ kid, Maria said she was expecting a boy and said Ricochet was the father.
When Mike demanded that Ricochet come to the ring and fight him, they went to commercial break and when they came back, Ricochet, who was denying he was the father the entire time, defeated him.
Following the match, Maria came out onto the stage and revealed that Ricochet wasn’t the father and she was just trying to embarrass Mike into standing up for her. She then revealed that Rusev was the “real” father.
