After getting released by the company in April, Rusev created a Twitch channel where he occasionally plays games and chats with his former wrestling colleagues. Rusev recently had a chat with former WWE Champion Sheamus on his channel this week, where the two talked about their League of Nations faction. While talking about their Tag-Team match against The New Day at WrestleMania 32, Rusev and Sheamus remembered how the match became more iconic after WWE legends Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, and Stone Cold Steve Austin made their way to the ring after the contest and hit them with their special moves.

Rusev also revealed how before the match, he, Sheamus, The New Day and others had a meeting where they all picked the iconic wrestling moves they were going to be on the receiving end of after the match. Rusev said that at the meeting, he volunteered to get hit by Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Stunner. “We started picking who's gonna take what. I volunteered right away because I knew... I always wanted to take a Stunner, because I knew I can take it good, and yes, they gave me the Stunner,” said Rusev.
