Hamin agrees with Russo about Undertaker’s legacy, pointing out that after the elaborate retirement ceremony at the end of WrestleMania last year it’d be a bit strange to see him return for another match. Lane points out that it just feels like we’re just missing some information right now. He thinks Cena should have specified why that Undertaker match can’t happen, instead of just saying it won’t take place.
Russo hates how WWE booked Elias to run away from Strowman on RAW this week. He points out that if you’re a professional wrestler, you shouldn’t be running away from another wrestler. Russo really likes Elias and thinks he has all the tools to be successful, but WWE’s booking of him has been quite bad. Regardless, he thinks Elias might still be able to overcome the bad booking because he’s that good.
Russo was shocked by this week’s RAW rating being lower than last week’s, especially since Rousey was advertised for the show. This doesn’t really surprise Richards because he points out that Rousey’s mainstream appeal dropped significantly following her last two UFC fights, partly due to the way she handled the media at that time.
