Russo partly believes that there’s no way WWE would do all this promotion without having Undertaker show up, but knowing how stupid WWE can be at times, he’s not convinced that Undertaker will be there at all. Lane calls the entire build, “very strange”.
Hamin points out that Nia Jax appears to be “tri-polar” given that she flips from a position of power to a position of weakness in the blink of an eye. He feels that her promo this week should have been more threatening to Bliss, instead of her just crying again. He points out that Jax is heading into WrestleMania as a wounded animal right now.
Russo thought Heyman buried all of RAW’s Superstars during his promo this week, and he wonders why someone like Braun Strowman didn’t come out to confront Lesnar. He also thought it was silly that 5 Superman Punches couldn’t keep Lesnar down. He can’t imagine scripting Steve Austin to hit an opponent with 5 Stunners only to have the opponent hop back up and hit Austin with his finisher. Russo thinks he would have been fired for proposing that during the attitude era, and rightfully so.
Russo says that he wouldn’t put Paul Heyman with Reigns coming out of WrestleMania this year. Instead, he’d book Reigns to win the Title, let the crowd react to Reigns however they like, and then let he’d have Reigns start shooting on the crowd. He thinks that’s exactly the way someone with the physique and attitude of Roman Reigns would react to the boos from the audience.
