One such faction was the League of Nations, comprising four non-American superstars. While the stable was dissolved back in April 2016, there is a chance that Triple H and his team could revive it after two of its former members, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/alexander-rusev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Rusev<\/a> and Sheamus, came face to face on RAW.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulgarian Brute faced Akira Tozawa in a singles match on this week\u2019s red-branded episode. The former three-time United States Champion was challenged by The Alpha Academy member after Rusev had destroyed Otis in an unprovoked attack upon his WWE return. While Tozawa showed a lot of heart, it was certainly not enough to inflict much damage on his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>The final moments of the match saw The Bulgarian Brute lock Tozawa into The Accolade submission hold. However, despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/alpha-academy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">The Alpha Academy<\/a> member tapping out, Rusev didn\u2019t let go. Seconds later, he released his opponent when Sheamus entered the arena, and both former members of the League of Nations stood face to face in the ring.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>While this could mean that Rusev\u2019s first major feud after his WWE comeback could be against The Celtic Warrior, it should be noted that neither wrestler attacked the other. Thus, there is a chance that the two could also form an alliance.<\/p>\n<p>The other members of the League of Nations were Wade Barrett and Alberto Del Rio. While Barrett has now retired and is a commentator, the Stamford-based promotion has distanced itself from Del Rio after his numerous scandals. Thus, the faction could be revived as a tag team this time. While this is a big possibility, all of this is speculation so far.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Rusev and Sheamus could face each other in a Money in the Bank qualifying match on WWE RAW<\/h2>\n<p>The Money in the Bank Premium Live Event will take place on June 7, 2025, in California. Seth Rollins, Penta, LA Knight, and Solo Sikoa have already qualified for the match, while two spots still remain, one of which will feature a wrestler from WWE RAW.<\/p>\n<p>The Monday night show will have another episode on June 2, 2025, before MITB.

His educational background in psychology helps him gain insight into several storyline twists in pro wrestling. Ankit has been a fan of the industry since childhood; the on-screen action gives him an adrenaline rush and led him to pursue a career in content writing. He has nearly three years of experience in the industry, working for organizations like Essentially Sports and NB Media as a news writer, editor, and scriptwriter.<\/p>\n<p>Ankit started following pro wrestling in high school. At the time, Edge (aka Cope) was making waves as part of his World Heavyweight Title feud with Alberto Del Rio. He grew up watching modern-day greats such as Sheamus, Randy Orton, and John Cena. The Shield was the top faction in WWE in 2012-13, and its breakup storyline made Ankit a lifelong fan of the sport. Orton and Seth Rollins are Ankit\u2019s favorite wrestlers in the men\u2019s division. He admires The Viper\u2019s character work, in-ring skills, and longevity. Meanwhile, he looks up to The Visionary because the latter is a complete wrestler, in his opinion. Ankit likes Liv Morgan\u2019s heel gimmick and promo skills in the women&#8217;s division. He was also fond of AJ Lee\u2019s presentation and microphone skills in the PG Era.<\/p>\n<p>Besides pro wrestling, Ankit likes to watch anime, play video games, and discover new music.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/defaultcats11-19dc5\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Arsh Das<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/wwe-re-form-league-nations-first-time-9-years-happened-raw-exploring-possibility\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] WWE\u2019s storylines lead to the rise and fall of several factions.
