Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's latest edition of Legion of RAW, the wrestling veteran briefly discussed the predictability of the WWE Elimination Chamber qualifying matches.

"Bro, go to the start of the Royal Rumble and let's go to tonight's show and this is what we totally changed when I started booking. Chris, can anything be more predictable? I mean, Chris, they open this show, they tell you about the three qualifying matches in the Elimination Chamber. Did you have to watch to know who was gonna win? You knew they were going to put the Bronson dude over, you knew they would put Gargano over and you knew there was no reason to watch any of those three matches," said Vince Russo [12:21-13:02]

During the same conversation, Vince Russo mentioned that he wasn't going to waste his time watching a predictable show.

He specifically pointed out that the main event of RAW featured Cody Rhodes and Finn Balor, claiming that it was quite easy to predict a win for The American Nightmare in this scenario.

"This is what I'm talking about people. I'm not going to waste my time watching something where I know the outcome before they ring the bell. I don't get into fake matches, these matches are not real, they are not hitting each other. So, I don't need to sit there for 15 minutes, Chris, when I know Johnny Gargano's going over. I'll go watch something else and then I'll come back to see the finish and to see what's next. That's all I'm saying, I don't know, Chris, how you can put over predictability. There was no reason to watch anything on this show tonight. Bro, was there one person with a brain cell that thought Finn Balor was going over?" added Vince Russo [13:03-13:56]
