Russo thinks the the Daniel Bryan/Shane McMahon storyline has to be one of the worst written storylines of the year. Lane thought Smackdown’s opening segment this week was a very cheesy, and he notes that if Bryan swerves McMahon at WrestleMania then he’ll forgive this awful segment. Russo points out that Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens have been “fired from Smackdown”, so it’s obvious to him that they’ll just show up at RAW next Monday.
Russo can’t believe that the last thing we saw before WWE went off air leading into WrestleMania was the WWE Champion tapping the challenger on the head. Lane says this Styles/Nakamura build has to be the worst buildup for any WrestleMania Championship match ever.
Russo contemplates who we might see take over as Smackdown GM after WrestleMania. He has heard rumours that Jeff Jarrett might be in the running for that role, but he points out that the old Vince McMahon that he knew would think that Jarrett would be too southern for that role. Alternately, he thinks Mark Henry would be hilarious and entertaining in the role of Smackdown GM.
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!
