Richards says that Matt Hardy is dead in the water right now, and he thinks WWE has ruined this character in record time. He doesn’t believe Hardy should be exposed in regular wrestling matches on RAW; Hardy should have his own Universe within WWE, separate from all the fake fighting that we see every Monday night.
Russo feels that other than Cena, Orton, and maybe The Miz, Vince McMahon has a hard time trusting his talent right now. Richards agree and points out that with all the legends appearing on RAW 25, this might present a dangerous proposition to WWE because it could expose the current product for being even worse than they perceive it to be.
Moving on to Smackdown Live, Russo wonders why WWE would even book two semi-final matches in the United States Title tournament when it was obvious that Bobby Roode and Jinder Mahal were going to win and meet in the finals all along. Richards agrees and points out that this was a great opportunity for WWE to book an upset and make a new star.
