Former WWE writer suggests Dexter Lumis could return to the company in a new faction
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo suggested an interesting storyline for Dexter Lumis last year and said it would have been great to see him aligned with a former NXT Champion in a new faction.
Speaking on an edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show last year, Russo suggested Lumis and Ciampa could have worked well together. He noted that the two stars could have portrayed "killers for hire" and be superstars who only wanted to inflict pain on their opponents.
"Do you know what really could have worked? I read a little snippet today, I didn't care enough to read into it, but they are totally getting away from the Dexter Lumis gimmick, who [sic] we haven't seen for years. Bro, Dexter Lumis and the Sicilian Psychopath [Ciampa] would have been money together," felt Russo. "They could have been like killers for hire. You know what I'm saying? They just want to inflict pain; there doesn't have to be a reason." [26:00 - 27:00]
