"Vince pulled me aside and told me this is a great acting performance. I've never been complimented on my acting before that," Rusev said.

Rusev also mentioned how after his shoulder surgery and while on hiatus in 2017, he felt as though his character wasn't going anywhere in the storylines. This inspired him to change his look, cut off his hair, and return with the intention to stay relevant.

"I don't know why I cut it, I got so tired of it. Back before I cut it, I feel like nothing was going on in WWE [with my character] I was going out for shoulder surgery. So you know what? I got tired of it," Rusev explained.
