Hamin thought the “Kami Show” segment was absolutely brutal. He points out that Zayn was making silly jokes during this segment and then had to wrestle Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman later in the show. He notes that when Zayn stood next to Lashley later in the show it was quite evident who looked like a star and who didn’t.
Russo points out that two weeks ago Owens and Zayn were fired from the company and now they have their own talk show. He has no idea how that happened and he doesn’t think it makes any sense. He doesn’t think anything that ludicrous would happen on any other television show.
Russo adds that WWE could have done so much creatively with this ‘firing’ angle, but they just “don’t give a s**t”. Hamin agrees, pointing out that they could have had Owens and Zayn selling merchandise for one show, which would have made for very entertaining television. In addition, WWE probably would have sold a bunch of merchandise that night because all the fans would have wanted to buy something from WWE Superstars.
Richards says if WWE was going to pair Bobby Lashley with Braun Strowman, they should have done it at WrestleMania and had them win the Tag Titles. Russo thinks that’s a great point.
Lane didn’t think it made any sense to have Jinder Mahal lose to Chad Gable just a few days before he challenges Jeff Hardy for the U.S. Title at the Greatest Royal Rumble event. Russo thinks that’s a great point, noting that it didn’t do any good to have Mahal “jobbing to Clark Gable” just a few days before his U.S. Title match.
