WWE RAW: Lana accuses Rusev of infidelity

WWE superstar Rusev was arrested a few weeks ago after confronting his rival Bobby Lashley and his wife Lana at a restaurant. As a result, Rusev and Lana were invited to the 'King’s Court' — aptly renamed 'Divorce Court' by Jerry Lawler. At the segment, Lana revealed that Rusev dominated their marriage life and always forced her to have a baby. She also revealed that her dream to become a model was also over because of Rusev and when Lashley accused Rusev of infidelity, it was all the evidence she needed that Rusev never really loved her.

When Rusev tried to deny all the accusations, Lashley appeared to the ring and the two started a brawl. Rusev was seen in total defiance and took his wedding ring off and shoved it in Lashley’s mouth. Lana then came to the ring to help Lashley and attacked her husband with a Kendo stick. Rusev grabbed the stick and Lashley downed Rusev with a pair of low blows. Lana then slapped Rusev that made him fall. Lana and Lashley humiliated Rusev by kissing each other on top of his fainted body. It's clear that it was not Rusev’s day.
