Vince Russo feels that Bloodline leader Roman Reigns is the only dominant superstar in WWE
Following this week's episode of Monday Night RAW, Vince Russo spoke about the problem with the red brand.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo claimed that The Tribal Chief is the only dominant superstar in the company. According to him, even Brock Lesnar isn't as dominant as he was before. Russo said:
"That's the problem with this show [RAW]. Who's dominant? Take Roman Reigns out of the equation. There is not one dominant person. You could even make an argument, you know, that Brock Lesnar isn't dominant with the amount of times that he's lost. Everybody's like winning, losing, winning, losing. Everybody is so competitive, there's nobody at an upper level."
Reigns' dominance has been proved both on and off-screen. On-screen, he recently completed 1,000 days as the Universal Champion. He is also the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Meanwhile, last week's SmackDown almost reached 3 million viewership, and a lot of credit goes to The Bloodline's segment on the show. The Head of the Table will be a busy man this summer, as he is already scheduled for numerous shows.
