There will be no Rusev crushes for a while as the former WWE United States champion underwent shoulder surgery last week.

It is not clear when he suffered the injury or even how long he will be out of action. The Bulgarian Brute last wrestled at Fastlane, losing to The Big Show in a 9-minute match.

Rusev spent two months on the sidelines in 2015 after suffering a fractured foot but despite the injury, he kept appearing on television and travel with his now-wife Lana.
