Russo informs that he actually enjoyed the Intercontinental Title match between Reigns and Elias, and that match was the only good thing on the show in his opinion. Bolin and Vito both liked the match as well, and while Vito says that this match elevated Elias, Bolin says that if WWE would have booked Elias to win that would have really elevated him.
Russo says that after working with Samoe Joe in TNA, he simply can’t buy Joe as a tough guy and he doesn’t really care for him as a main event talent. He doesn’t know why WWE is wasting everyone’s time with a Reigns/Joe feud for the Intercontinental Title, because there’s no way WWE is ever going to book Joe to defeat Reigns for that Title in his opinion.
Russo and Bolin both agree that Dana Brooke is basically done in WWE after losing to Asuka in seconds this past week. Bolin actually liked that Asuka backed away from Absolution when they surrounded the ring because she was thinking logically in that spot. She might be able to handle Paige 1 on 1, but there’s no way she could handle all three of those women.
