"You're forcing it and people can see through"- WWE veteran blasts Sammy Guevara and AEW for recent segment (Exclusive)
Vince Russo recently slammed AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara for his recent promo on Rampage, where he dropped multiple expletives.
On the April 9th show, The Spanish God and Tay Conti confronted Dan Lambert, Scorpio Sky, and Ethan Page. The TNT Champion delivered a promo demanding a match with Sky, where he used expletives like "s**t" and "b***h," which shocked the fans.
Speaking on the latest episode of Sportskeeda's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo blasted Sammy Guevara for the promo, saying it came across as if he was deliberately using the words to look "cool."
The former WWE writer added that the AEW star purposely used curses to get over with fans, but it backfired.
"In the course of a two-minute promo, Sammy Guevara said the word - s**t twice. And the last thing he said was b***h in a very rude way. And I'm seeing this, I'm watching this from my home, and it looks like he's doing this to come across as cool. But it's coming across in a completely opposite way because you see him purposefully cursing. You see it doing him that on purpose, not that somebody got him so riled up. No bro, he's doing it on purpose, thinking it'll get him over, but people are seeing the same thing I'm seeing. You're forcing it, and people can see right through that," said Vince Russo.

Sammy Guevara won the TNT Championship at AEW Battle of the Belts
The former Inner Circle member defeated Scorpio Sky to win his third AEW TNT Championship in last Saturday night's special, Battle of the Belts. However, unlike his first two title wins, Guevara's latest victory generated a surprisingly heated reaction from the fans in Garland, Texas.

The Spanish God's alliance with his real-life girlfriend Tay Conti hasn't received the desired response, with the duo getting regularly booed by fans. But considering how talented Guevara and Conti are, they might make the best of the situation at hand.
