What Happened To Rusev's WWE Championship Shot?

Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on May 25, 2017

WWE has reportedly dropped plans to put Rusev into the WWE Championship picture despite him posting a video last week on his social media in which he demanded Shane McMahon give him a WWE Championship match at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view. He also claimed he would be appearing on last week's SmackDown Live which didn't happen

Rusev has been out of action since WWE Fastlane with an injury which he is now recovered from but it would appear any plans WWE had for him concerning the WWE title have been dropped as he has not been mentioned at all over the past couple weeks. 

WWE is keen to move forward with their Jinder Mahal storyline instead.

Do you think Rusev deserves a WWE title shot?
