The feud between the two was almost three months long, but it ended after WWE released Rusev in April. Recently, while talking to Digital Spy, Bobby Lashley admitted that he didn't think the feud ever reached a 'real conclusion'.
"I don't think it had a proper conclusion," he said. "I think there was so much we could do. We had a full head of steam, people wanted Rusev to rip my arms off and beat me with them."
