Rusev Has Bad News For Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal and Samil Singh look very pleased with the results of the tag team match. They run into Aiden English and Rusev, promising that they’ll invite them to the championship celebration after WrestleMania. But Rusev has other plans. Since he beat WWE U.S. Champion Randy Orton, now he’s going to go into Daniel Bryan’s office to turn the triple threat U.S. title match into a fatal four way, involving “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev. Mahal and Singh look very upset.
