When Bulgarian WWE superstar Rusev tweeted that he needed an opponent for WrestleMania 34, he probably didn’t expect Richie Rich to call him out.
But that’s exactly what happened. Well, sort of.
I need a celebrity to fight me at #WrestleMania34 ! #RusevDay

American actor Macaulay Culkin, famous for his roles in the Home Alone films as well as Richie Rich, saw Rusev’s plea and responded in no uncertain terms.
I'll take you on. Back alley brawl?

Minutes later Culkin reiterated his interest, stating that he was “officially accepting” a challenge to wrestle Rusev.
BREAKING NEWS: I am officially accepting @RusevBUL challenge to wrestle him at this year's Wrestlemania. You heard it here first, folks.
Come at me, bro!

There was just one problem. It seems Rusev is too big a fan of Culkin’s work to chase him around the ring.

Not that that deterred Culkin from practising a little trash talk.
It's cool. I'd be doing all the hitting anyway. #youjustgotculked https://t.co/aZOz8LVthV

Get ready for another Home Alone sequel. This time, Kevin stumbles into the wrong wrestling ring with hilarious consequences.
