I have notice that Rusev ends up getting days off or goes on vacation a lot. And how does he not have any heat backstage for ditching Smackdown to go to a hockey game? And why is the one wrestler that keeps getting days off while others have to work non-stop.

I think him not showing up on Smackdown is all a storyline.

All right well besides the hockey game, why does he keep getting days off? It doesn't seem fair for everyone else tbh.

And they let Finn Balor take over six months off right after he won the Universal title. A couple of years ago, that egomaniac Seth Rollins decided to vacate the WWE title and take like nine months off. Braun Strowman took the day off instead of wrestling on Raw this week. The Revival debuted, destroyed New Day twice, then decided to take every day off since. |

Probably. Can't exactly do anything until they decide to bring him back, though - which they either forgot about this week or didn't have time. I mean, I seriously doubt he's off galavanting all willy-nilly. |

Shoulder surgery takes months to come back from. You have the surgery, then it has to heal, and then you have to go through months of physical therapy to strengthen it back up. Trust me, he doesn't want to be "off". He wants to be wrestling. And he will be, soon. He's next in line to face Orton for the WWE Championship. |

I guess this was just a minor procedure for Rusev? Had no idea he was ready to come back. I've been kinda out of the loop on Smackdown since the shakeup. They could use Rusev. They need all the help they can get. Hopefully it picks up if he's ready to return to the ring and they start having Nakamura wrestle. And no more Jinder

I think its probably because everyone is already tied up in storylines, the only thing they could do would be Rusev vs Mojo Rawley. I think time off is good for talent.

They likely didn't have time to fit Rusev in this week so they told him to stay home. So he went to the hockey game and since he was advertised for Smackdown he played into his storyline and said he ditched the show.
Other than his wedding he hasn't really had big vacations. When he goes away on trips it usually seems to be for WWE promotional stuff.

It's good for Lana if he's not around probably too.
I also hope he's growing his hair back.
Time off is good after going from a monster undefeated heel to a complete joke. You take time off and return big to string some wins together...that's solid.
That's a problem people had with Jinder, they didn't have time to forget he was a huge loser.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him Tuesday off because they decided to use him tonight. Either during or after the WWE title match.
