Russo says the recent Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn storyline has to be the worst thing he’s ever seen. He thinks this was WWE literally saying, “We don’t give a f*** about you” to their fans. Lane thinks WWE probably thought this was a great, creative angle, but it was far from that.
Lane notes that Paul Ellering tweeted out this past week that it wasn’t his idea to part ways with the Authors of Pain when they made their move to the main roster. Hamin thinks Authors of Pain could still use Ellering because although they’re big and impressive looking, they’re not a draw at this point and they can’t cut a promo.
Hamin points out that Drew McIntyre is a thoroughbred workhorse and it was great to see him return on RAW. He adds that McIntyre left the company and made a name for himself before returning to NXT. Unfortunately an injury hampered his NXT run, but hopefully his return to the main roster is the start of great things for him. Russo agrees, pointing out that he’s a big fan of McIntyre and he thought he looked great Monday night.
Lane points out that there was a story to be told between Ronda Rousey and former MMA competitor, Sonya Deville. Unfortunately, Deville moved to Smackdown on Tuesday night, effectively putting an end to that. Hamin also notes that Stephanie McMahon had better MMA defence to Rousey’s offence than Deville did even though Deville is a former MMA fighter, and that’s just ridiculous.
