Rumor going around the net is Rusev has been asking for his release the past several weeks and WWE adding him into the IC match at Mania is likely their way of convincing him to stay.
PWI reported they've heard of rumblings of Rusev being very unhappy for a while over the lack of direction for his career especially with his Rusev Day gimmick not leading to any real notable improvements.
