Speaking about the debut of Paige as Smackdown’s GM, Hamin thinks Paige is a liability and he thinks she should have been let go a long time ago. He suspects that Paige would test positive for one or two substances if she was given a drug test tomorrow, and he just thinks this is going to end badly for WWE.
Russo says he didn’t agree with the idea of Daniel Bryan wrestling A.J. Styles on Smackdown just to satisfy the marks. He says that these shows should write themselves, and since the WWE Title match ended with a low blow at WrestleMania, Smackdown should have opened with Styles looking for revenge.

Russo is confused as to why WWE ended Asuka’s streak only to have Charlotte get beat up by NXT call-ups the next night, then lose her Championship to Carmella. Richards agrees, pointing out that after all of this not one person got over.
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!
