Rusev Claims He Was In The Wedding Cake For 30 Minutes
The most shocking part of the wedding between Lana and Lashley was undoubtedly Liv Morgan’s return and reveal as Lana’s lover. But she wasn’t the only superstar to get in on the action as Rusev, who was an invited guest, made his impact by popping out of a giant cake and attacking Lashley.
Appearing on The Jerry Lawler Show, Rusev discussed his time in the wedding cake.
“I was in that cake for about 30 minutes,” claimed Rusev. “I kind of ribbed myself because as soon as I got in, five minutes later I was drenched in sweat. You have no idea how hot that cake was. If I was back to 310 (pounds), it would have been impossible to fit in the cake. Call it fate or whatever you want that I was able to lose the weight so now I was able to fit in. When I was able to get in there is a tricky question because the lady who made it is a huge Rusev Day fan. Thanks to her and her helpers, they were able to sneak me in when the timing was right. That’s what happens when you’re a Rusev Day fan. We find ways to help each other. The cake was in two parts. There was no way anyone was going to have a bigger cake than Lana. That backfired for her. If it was a regular cake, I would not have been able to pop out. Lana wanted the hugest cake.”
When asked by Lawler how he managed to get into the cake, Rusev said, like a good magician, he would not reveal his secret.
Elsewhere on the podcast, Jerry Lawler revealed Vince McMahon made sure to make it back to WWE Raw so he could watch the wedding. You can view Lawler’s full comments by clicking here.
