WWE is reportedly getting ready to put Rusev, Ethan Page, and Big Cass together as an official faction on Monday Night Raw, and it could be built around Rusev's return to television. Self Made Pro shared the plan on the Self Made Sessions podcast. Page and Cass are already teaming, and they beat Chad Gable and Dragon Lee on October 26 episode of Raw. Rusev, who has partnered with Page before, hasn't been on WWE television for months. Three former AEW names would end up under the WWE banner if it happens, but the company hasn't officially announced the faction.

WWE Reportedly Plans to Bring Rusev, Ethan Page, and Big Cass Together as a New Raw Faction

Self Made Pro was pretty direct about the timing, saying, “I can also tell you guys, expect Rusev, Ethan Page, and Big Cass to be a formal stable imminently.”

Page and Cass have already got their partnership going in the ring. The pair beat Gable and Lee on Raw, after the two teams clashed on the previous week's show. 

WWE's official match preview said Gable and Lee wanted payback following an attack that came after an Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat Match.

Rusev was first expected to team with Page, according to a separate report from WrestleVotes on Fightful Select. But an injury reportedly forced WWE to change course, so Page got paired with Cass instead.

The Reported Trio Has Previous AEW Ties and Could Enter an Already Crowded Raw Faction Scene

All three have history with All Elite Wrestling. Rusev worked there as Miro and held the AEW TNT Championship. Page also wrestled for AEW before he joined WWE's NXT brand in 2024, where he became NXT Champion. 

Big Cass competed as Big Bill and won the AEW World Tag Team Championships alongside Ricky Starks, who is now known in WWE as Ricky Saints.

Rusev is back in the ring at WWE live events in Hawaii this month, though he hasn't resumed regular television appearances yet. When he does come back, it could give WWE a chance to make the reported stable official.

Raw already has established groups, including The Judgment Day and The Bloodline. A new faction could hand WWE another combination for rivalries across the roster, while Page's pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship stays a separate storyline. For now, no official debut date or faction name has been announced.
