During one of his recent Twitch streams, Rusev claimed that he is done wrestling and wants to work on his social media platforms instead. He said,
“I’m done. I’m done, man. I’m just enjoying my Twitch. I’m a professional Twitcher, YouTuber, and content creator. I’m not a wrestler anymore. Can I be your favorite streamer?”
He also commented on his last conversation with Vince McMahon, saying: “I texted Vince, I haven’t talked to him. I texted him, it was a nice conversation.“
