On this week’s WWE RAW, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre found themselves in a tense confrontation after Rhodes intervened to rescue Sami Zayn from a vicious assault by McIntyre.
The collision of these two prominent WWE stars on the journey to WrestleMania captured attention, but it failed to impress Vince Russo.
The main event of the show saw Sami Zayn poised for a significant victory against Shinsuke Nakamura before Drew McIntyre’s interference altered the course of the match. Seizing the opportunity, Nakamura secured the win.
However, the evening took an unexpected turn when Cody Rhodes emerged in the ring.
During his review of the show on the Legion of RAW, Vince Russo didn’t mince words, expressing criticism toward the moment and the creative direction of the WWE. Russo lamented the repetitive nature of RAW’s creative choices, particularly involving the same pool of superstars.
In reference to the confrontation between Rhodes and McIntyre, Russo conveyed his dissatisfaction, suggesting that the creative team’s reliance on familiar tropes diminishes the impact of such moments.
“It’s Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins makes the save. Seth and Cody are now Batman and Robin, get out of here will you bro, please?” Russo exclaimed, highlighting his discontent with the perceived lack of originality in the storyline. (29:05-29:19)
