The Pop Break recently spoke to Rusev where he discussed becoming a citizen of the USA. He was very happy about this and considered it his “biggest accomplishment in life.” He joked that it might be “brainwashing,” but he always knew that his destiny was to become an American citizen.

“Oh, it’s my biggest accomplishment in life. I’ve always admired the United States of America growing up. Call it brainwashing, call it destiny, call it whatever—I knew one day I was going to come here. Just to be able to be called a US Citizen here in America, it’s the proudest thing I can probably say that I’ve achieved.”
