Vito thought the right guy won in the United States Title match. Jinder Mahal’s victory opens a lot of options creatively moving forward and he liked this finish. However, he thinks somebody should be arrested for misuse of talent in regards to how Rusev’s been booked lately. Russo says WWE should never have taken the WWE Title off of Mahal because the Styles/Nakamura match didn’t need the Title at all.
Vito thought Charlotte/Asuka probably had match of the night, and Charlotte winning was the right finish in his mind. Russo was surprised by this finish, but he was happy that this victory certified Charlotte as a top star. She looks, acts and carries herself like a star and she deserves to be positioned as such.
In regards to the Intercontinental Championship match, Seth Rollins had the worst outfit of the night in Russo’s opinion, and he’s surprised we didn’t see “Demon” Finn Balor return. The Demon was a huge money-maker and he can’t believe WWE didn’t revisit that here. He would have even put the Title on Demon Balor if he would have returned last night. Vito was disappointed in this match because he thought Miz should have won.
Vito thought WrestleMania 34 was a good show overall, and Russo agrees.
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!
