Russo says he’s probably going to get some heat for this, but he just doesn’t understand what the big deal is about a women’s Royal Rumble match. There are only a limited number of women on each brand and we’ve seen plenty of multi-women tag matches in the past so this isn’t a big deal to him at all. Lane says this announcement was all about Stephanie McMahon hogging the spotlight as usual, and he felt embarrassed for the other women in the ring.
Moving over to Smackdown Live, Russo and Lane agree that nothing really happened on this show either. Russo thinks the only thing of interest that happened on either show was Dolph Ziggler leaving the US Title in the ring on Smackdown Live. Although this was in intriguing segment, he’s sure WWE will find a way to screw this up as well.
Russo assumes that WWE is heading towards Shane McMahon versus Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, and they will it hype it up as Bryan’s big return to the ring. Unfortunately, he just doesn’t care about this storyline or this angle, and he’s not interested in seeing those two guys compete at WrestleMania.
Russo says there’s no explanation for the way the Riott Squad have been booked since being called up the main roster. They were booked like badasses for 3 weeks, and now they’ve been beat up for 2 weeks in a row. Russo thinks that Triple H chooses who comes up to the main roster from NXT and McMahon goes with Triple H’s decision for a while before making his own decisions.
