Lane thought RAW was a very poor show this week, and points out that the only thing worth watching on this show was the interaction between John Cena and Seth Rollins during the Gauntlet Match. This was the only thing that held his attention on the show, and everything else was a complete waste of time in his opinion.
Russo thought Asuka’s promo was the absolute “shi*s”. He didn’t understand a single word she was saying, and if that makes him a racist according to some people then he’ll simply have to deal with those criticisms. Richards agrees and points out that WWE is not protecting her and Nakamura. Russo notes that MLB teams often protect their Japanese talents who arrive in North America without an understanding of the English language. He wonders why WWE fails to protect their Superstars in this manner.
Russo can’t believe that WWE actually thinks Ronda Rousey can save their “sh*t” product. Hamin agrees, but points out that WWE are definitely marks for Rousey at this point, and they feel that Rousey is going to make a big difference when they sign their new television rights deal. Hamin thinks WWE is kidding themselves, and he fears that WWE wasted a lot of money with this Rousey signing. Richards agrees and thinks that WWE is putting a lot of pressure on Rousey, who typically has folded under pressure in the past.
