Rusev hasn’t really had the best run as of late, but last April he got to step into the ring with a legend when he faced off against The Undertaker at the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.
The Bulgarian Brut didn’t pick up the win, but he did get to pick Taker’s brain while they were working together.
While speaking with Express, Rusev acknowledged how special it was to work with The Undertaker, and he also shared what Taker told him after the match was over.
“It’s not like I have a checklist, but I got to work with him and Hunter and Hogan and few people who I watched growing up and always been a big fan of obviously all of them. And Taker is such a special character and he’s been here for like 30 years or whatnot. He’s a legend, he’s an icon so getting to work with him and talk to him afterwards and pick his brains it was a great opportunity for me. He told me that I’m really good. I’m not even messing around, he told me I’m really good.”
WWE will be returning to Saudi Arabia for Super ShowDown on Friday, June 7.
The Undertaker is set to face Goldberg at the event. Rusev does not currently have a match on the card.
