Russo thinks that there are a lot of performers who are miscast on WWE’s current product. If the creative team would just sit down with each performer it would be easy to tell within a few minutes who these guys really are. Bolin agrees and says that the over-scripted nature of today’s product is really hurting it as well.
Lane thought WWE made a mistake by having such a lengthy 205 Live segment in the first hour of RAW without any sign of Enzo Amore. Vito agrees and says WWE should have never taken the Cruiserweight Title off of Amore because he’s the one guy who was building credibility within that brand. Russo says Vince McMahon is ‘out of his mind’ if he thinks Kalisto is going to be a bigger star than Neville was.
Russo has no idea why Strowman didn’t systematically pick off The Shield’s members one by one this week, after they threw him through an announce table last week. He says the writing is horrific today and that’s why nobody is getting over. He thinks WWE is going to kill Strowman if they continue with this terrible writing.
Bolin says he’s a big fan of Alexa Bliss’ work right now. He recalls working with Bliss in FCW many years ago and he told her that she wouldn’t last 6 weeks in the business because she was so skinny and was somewhat of a ‘diva’. He’s pleasantly surprised that she proved him very wrong.
