During the last few months of 2019 there was one WWE feud that had everybody talking — Bobby Lashley and Rusev.
The feud began when Rusev's wife Lana revealed she was divorcing him and had been having an affair with Lashley.
Then, on the December 31 edition of Raw, Lana and Lashley married with Rusev interrupting the ceremony.

The pair continued their feud until mid-January when Lashley and Lana defeated Rusev and Liv Morgan in a mixed tag match.
Rusev then spent the next few months off TV before being released by WWE in April.
Speaking about the feud to Digital Spy, Lashley admitted he didn't think it ever reached a real conclusion.
"I don't think it had a proper conclusion," he said. "I think there was so much we could do.

"We had a full head of steam, people wanted Rusev to rip my arms off and beat me with them."
Lashley went on to reveal that he doesn't know why the feud ended so abruptly, without Rusev getting his revenge.
"I really don't know what happened to tell you the truth," Lashley continued. "I think we were at the point where the revenge needed to happen and it didn't.
"I don't know where we could have went or where we were going to go with it. I just wish that I could have had the match that I wanted to have with Rusev," he added.
"I've seen him in some great matches and I think I could have had one with him."
Lashley has since moved on to feuding with WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, who he will face at Backlash on June 14.
