Ex-WWE personality points out major issue in Cody Rhodes-The Miz RAW segment (Exclusive)
The WWE RAW opening segment featuring The Miz and Cody Rhodes was "predictable," as per former writer Vince Russo.
This week, The Miz and Cody Rhodes opened the Monday Night Show and had a back-and-forth where they traded barbs to set up their match. The segment ended with The A-Lister trying to ambush Rhodes, who sidestepped and threw him out of the ring.
On the latest episode of Legion of RAW, Vince Russo found major issues from this week's RAW, criticizing the creative writing in WWE. He specifically pointed out the opening segment between Cody Rhodes and The Miz and questioned if anyone in the company cares about The A-Lister.
"You do this opening segment with The Miz and Cody Rhodes - 18 minutes! To get to a match where you know Cody is going over [winning]. Does anybody care about The Miz at this point? It's the same thing. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's the same thing. You know Cody is going over in his first match so you spend 20 minutes setting up a predictable match, that's how you start the show," said Russo. [8:30 to 9:04]
