Rusev’s fame transcended the wrestling ring, making an impact even at an airport.
Prior to WWE RAW, Miro posted a video showing himself walking through the Scotiabank Arena when a fan suddenly recognized him and enthusiastically shouted “Rusev Day.” Although this initial moment was brief, more fans soon joined in, resulting in a spontaneous but noticeable chant throughout the venue.
However, instead of encouraging the chant, Rusev paused, turned toward the fans, and firmly indicated that he wanted it to stop.
“You’re going to get me into trouble.”
This response was telling. Even years after his original run, the “Rusev Day” chant continues to resonate instinctively with fans.
What remains uncertain is why he felt the chant could cause issues. He didn’t provide further explanation in the video, leaving his remark open to interpretation—whether he spoke in jest, out of caution, or for a more serious reason is still unknown.
Do you think WWE should officially revive “Rusev Day,” or should it stay a spontaneous fan phenomenon?
Fan Take: The enduring popularity of “Rusev Day” highlights how powerful fan engagement can be in wrestling. WWE recognizing and embracing such organic moments could energize the community and bring fresh excitement to the sport.
