Russo points out that there’s no heel in the Sasha Banks/Bayley rivalry, and if there are no stakes there’s no reason for him to care about it.
Russo thought the picture-in-picture that WWE implemented during their shows this week to promote WrestleMania was distracting. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor were wrestling on RAW but WWE was promoting A.J. Styles versus Nakamura at WrestleMania in the larger window. Richards thought Rollins and Balor had a “hell of a match” but he thought it happened on the wrong show, given that WrestleMania is just a few days away.
Lane thought this week’s RAW was just a commercial for WrestleMania. He points out that WWE didn’t really do anything new this week, apart from Heyman threatening that Lesnar would leave the company if he fails to retain his Universal Title at WrestleMania.
Richards is confused by the build to John Cena/ Undertaker at WrestleMania. He points out that the build has basically been that The Undertaker’s not going to be there. Hamin thinks people want to see The American Badass return, especially with Kid Rock being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year as well as The Dead Man laying down his coat and hat at the end of last year’s WrestleMania.
