While WWE was airing SmackDown on the USA Network, featuring Rusev defeating Zack Ryder but suffering a gnarly hematoma in the process (check it out), the Bulgarian Brute was with his wife-to-be, Lana, at the Nashville Predators NHL Playoff game against the San Jose Sharks.

As of this writing, Nashville is winning 2-1 in the second period but after that speech there's simply no way they let Rusev & Lana down.
Update: It went to triple overtime, but the Predators came away with a 4-3 victory.
