Rusev on Vince McMahon’s reaction to his Rusev Day merch becoming a hot seller: “It was a number one sold out merchandise. I think it was October, November, whatever it was. Beat all the wrestler people. Everybody else. All that you think, everbody that you think they’re the best of all time. I beat them all. You know. You know, no big deal. That’s not thanks to me, though. That’s thanks to y’all because y’all bought the shirts, not me. That’s when I went to Vince, and I told him, ‘Hey Vince, we have something here.’ He’s like, ‘No, they’re f***ing with you.’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean?’ [Vince,] ‘Yeah, they don’t mean Rusev Day.'”

Rusev on how he responded to Vince McMahon’s comment: “I’m like, ‘Sir, our merchandise is sold out everywhere, online, in-stores.’ He’s like, ‘What do you mean?’ I said, ‘Well, the shirt is sold out. We’re the number one selling merch.’ You know what he said? I’m not even lying. He says, ‘Hmmm. Well, maybe they didn’t make enough.’ [Rusev acts taken aback] OK. *laughs* That was … Yeah, man. Yeah, man. It’s all good though. It’s part of the journey. It’s part of the journey. Yeah. It’s OK, though. We’re going to make enough merch this time.”
