Russo also points out that Rusev should have been a monster heel by now, but instead he’s paired in an unlikely partnership with Aiden English, probably just because WWE creative had nothing else to do with English after his tag partner was let go. Russo continues by saying that No Way Jose is just a blatant ripoff of Adam Rose, and Bobby Roode might be the most miscast character on the entire show. Roode dancing, signing and trying to be a babyface just doesn’t make sense to Russo.
Russo points out that after tapping to Daniel Bryan, WWE had to let Big Cass get his heat back after the match ended. If they wouldn’t have booked him to get his heat back there he “would have been done” in Russo’s opinion. Lane questions why Cass had to tap in that match in the first place.
Russo thought the Smackdown Women’s Title match between Carmella and Charlotte had a weak finish. He also questions who the ‘Carmella’ character is supposed to be. Lane points out that she’s the “Princess of Staten Island”, so Russo wonders why WWE hasn’t shot some vignettes with her on Staten Island where she’s supposedly running the town. In addition, Lane points out that WWE took away Charlotte’s “Flair”, adding that she was such a good heel on RAW months ago.
