The Miz def. Rusev to qualify for the WWE World Cup

The Bulgarian Brute squares off with The A-Lister for one of SmackDown LIVE's spots in the 8-man tournament to determine who is the best in the world at WWE Crown Jewel.

With a slot in the coveted WWE World Cup tournament to determine the best in the world on the line, The Miz and Rusev squared off on this landmark episode of SmackDown LIVE.

The two barely had time to engage, as Aiden English rushed to ringside and tripped up Rusev, clearly in retaliation for them exposing his “One Night in Milwaukee” scam last week. The distraction allowed The Miz to roll up The Bulgarian Brute for a sudden three-count.

The Mozart of Mayhem couldn’t get out of dodge, however, as an enraged Lana caught him with a low blow, and The Super Athlete let out some aggression on his former Rusev Day companion.

One night in D.C. was not kind to English.
