Rusev And Lana On Their 2018 & 2019 (Video), Special WWE 205 Live Show Airing Tonight, WWE - TikTok

- Above is video of Kayla Braxton talking to Rusev and Lana after the big WWE United States Title win over Shinsuke Nakamura on last night's SmackDown, which was Rusev's 34th birthday.

"This is unreal. I always thought that the United States Championship was my title," Rusev said. "We made it... we fought John at WrestleMania 31, when we came out on the tank, unfortunately we lost it at my first WrestleMania. And then we beat Kalisto... but now to win it back on my birthday, on Christmas Day, and on Rusev Day, and on top of it all, with my wife next to me. I mean, I think this is a dream come true."

Lana added, "I'm so proud of him. It's been a great 2018, so many things that we can be very, very thankful for, and the fact that he became champion on his birthday, which happened to be on Christmas. This is probably one of the best Rusev Days of all-time."

Rusev also said he had many doubts that this way was ever going to come, but Lana kept supporting him and telling him he should keep going because he was a hard worker. Rusev said he is looking forward to 2019 and possibly becoming a dual-champion.
