Following last night's WWE SmackDown Rusev reacted to his loss to Randy Orton during the event in an interview with Backstage Fallout. Rusev's loss means he was unable to earn a spot on Team SmackDown at Survivor Series.

Rusev says his game plan was to plan for AJ Styles all week but instead he got Orton and he feels like SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon made the unfair move on purpose. Rusev claims he should be respected and treated right and it is unfair Shane made himself team captain without qualifying.
