In a very enjoyable match and segment following, Rusev took on Chad Gable in a highly competitive bout. Rusev, have a size advantage of around 60 pounds, did not look like he was facing someone like that. Gable worked over Rusev, hitting three consecutive belly to belly suplexes to get the upper hand. Rusev would work out of a submission hold, hit a superkick and then locked in the Accolade. Gable taps out after an impressive performance and Rusev stands tall.

He gets on the mic and says that nobody can beat him, which prompts Randy Orton to come out. It will be Rusev vs. Orton at SummerSlam, just like that. I am absolutely good with this. There does not need to be a huge build for every match on the card and feel that Rusev and Orton can easily put on a solid 10-12 minute match in the middle of some main events. As much as I want Rusev to be pushed to the top, you cannot argue that the last two opponents he has faced have a combined 29 World Championships. As for Chad Gable, he has great potential to be pushed slowly, but surely, reminiscent of Daniel Bryan.
