And he has called out football presenter Lineker.
Rusev said: “I’m WWE superstar Rusev, and I’m coming to BT Sports for this man, Gary Lineker – a former Barcelona player.
“You no good man, I’m going to crush you!”
Sky had held the UK broadcasting rights for the world’s largest wrestling company for decades.
But BT Sport snatched the TV rights from their rivals and will now exclusively air Raw and SmackDown live every week starting in January 2020.
WWE’s monthly pay-per-view events, including WrestleMania, will be available for fans to purchase on box office.
The broadcasting giant is now home to the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, Gallagher Premiership Rugby, MotoGP and UFC.
Senior Vice President of WWE, Stefan Kastenmuller, said: “We are pleased to begin an exciting new chapter for WWE in the region as we join BT Sport’s innovative offering and impressive portfolio of premium sports content.”

“This is a brilliant addition for our customers and we can’t wait to get going in January.”
