CJ Perry squashes rumor that Rusev angrily walked out of Raw after loss to Je’Von Evans

Rusev has been missing from WWE programming since he lost a match against Je’Von Evans on the July 27 episode of Raw. The latest reporting indicates that the Bulgarian Brute has been away due to an undisclosed illness and is trying to get cleared to return soon. Following that loss on Raw, a video spread online of Rusev quickly rolling out of the ring and walking out of the arena. To some fans, it looked like he was upset about losing and had no interest in sticking around the ringside area while Evans celebrated. You can judge for yourself: Fan footage shows Rusev was FURIOUS after jobbing to JeVon Evans on last night Raw…Right after the match, Rusev quickly rolled out of the ring and stormed straight backstage, looking angry as hell….Rusev is clearly not happy with this jobber treatment he’s getting from Triple… pic.twitter.com/6iohYDN9XW — 𝙈𝙧 𝙍𝙖𝙟👑 (@rajmuker) July 28, 2026 CJ Perry (fka Lana in WWE) shut down that rumor and speculation today in a new interview with NotSam
