Lane plays a clip of Wade Keller, who points out that Roman Reigns consistently over-utilizes drama during his matches, often ‘roaring’ or screaming instead of going for a pin. Russo says that this is fake fighting, and the point of it is to entertain the audience. Using over-exaggerated drama during matches has been happening forever, and Hogan made a fortune doing it.
On another one of Keller’s shows this week, his co-host said that he hopes WWE starts selling The Usos’ new jacket that they wore at Survivor Series. He said he’d easily pay $300 for that jacket. Russo says that this guy sounds like a 12-year old. WWE Shop is meant for children, who ask their parents for this stuff for Christmas.
Keller also said that Nakamura should have been the last Smackdown Live team member left at Survivor Series, facing an uphill battle against Samoa Joe, Finn Balor and Braun Strowman. Russo laughs hysterically and says that the only reason Bobby Roode and Nakamura were in this match was to get Powerslammed by Strowman.
In another clip, Keller was angry at the fact that John Cena took someone’s spot in the Survivor Series match, just to fill a spot and get eliminated fairly early. Russo says that Cena draws money, and he was brought in for this match because none of Keller’s favourites can draw money. He says that Cena doesn’t need WWE anymore and he clearly did this as a favour to Vince McMahon, because if he left WWE tomorrow, he’d eventually have the same profile in Hollywood that The Rock has.
