Moving over to Smackdown Live, Russo says that the only way the Daniel Bryan/Shane McMahon storyline will work is if WWE allows Bryan to talk about the real life struggle of trying to get WWE to clear him for an in-ring return. He knows that WWE doesn’t have the balls to do that and if that’s not where they’re heading, this entire angle is just terrible television in his opinion.
During the main event of the show Sami Zayn was actually beating up Randy Orton on the outside of the ring at one point. Russo thought this beatdown was completely unbelievable because anyone who sees Zayn stand next to Orton knows that Zayn could never get the upper hand on Orton in a physical dispute.
Russo mentions that the only thing that will make him watch Clash of Champions this Sunday is if Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn lose so he never has to see them on Smackdown Live again. In all seriousness, he doesn’t want to see anyone lose their job, but if he was booking he’d book them to lose on Sunday and then he’d move them to NXT where they can basically run that brand.
That sums up today’s episode of Vince Russo’s The Brand. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya tomorrow for another recap!
