Vince Russo comments on Jey Uso's title victory on WWE RAW
Former WWE writer Vince Russo shared his thoughts on Jey Uso winning the Intercontinental Championship and wondered if there were issues with Bron Breakker behind the scenes.
Speaking on this week's episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo suggested that Uso did not need to win the Intercontinental Championship last night. The veteran wondered if Bron Breakker messed up backstage and the company was sending him a message by having him lose the title.
"I think Bron Breakker F'd up. I think Bron Breakker did something that somebody didn't like. They've gotta send Bron Breakker a message because they gotta break Bron Breakker. There is no way in heck that Jey Uso needed that title. No way, no how whatsoever. Jey Uso is way over with or without a title," he said. [From 4:20 onwards]
