Rusev was among the names which were released from WWE as part of their budget cuts and he now has the opportunity to do the things he couldn’t while being in the company.

The former US Champion has launched a twitch channel and he did a short Q&A from his official twitter account yesterday to promote the new venture.

One fan thanked Rusev for all the great matches and memories he produced during his time in the company and replying to him, the heavyweight star said that he is not dead and he is just getting started instead.

When someone asked if his wife Lana will be making an appearance on his Twitch channel anytime soon, the former WWE star responded by saying that you will have to ask Vince McMahon about it.

Interestingly, a fan called him The Bulgarian Brute and replying to him, Rusev noted that it’s a phrase owned by WWE which he cannot and will not use:

That’s a WWE name i can’t and won’t use

Rusev is considered to be one of the hottest free agents after his release from WWE and people like Jim Ross have previously said that signing him would be their top priority.

Though there is no word yet on what the former champion himself is planning for his future and we should get a better idea of his plans on July 15, when his non compete clause with the company expires.
