Rusev has qualified for the men’s Money In The Bank ladder match after he defeated Daniel Bryan in the main event match on WWE Smackdown Live.
The final moments of the match saw Aiden English pull Rusev out of the ring to avoid a flying knee, but Bryan kneed him in the head from the apron. Rusev then caught Bryan with a pop-up knee to the head, and followed up with a Machka Kick for the win.
