Speaking on the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo seemed clueless about Aliyah but did end up praising the SmackDown star, labeling her as a "good looking woman".
"Bro, was I supposed to know who this woman was? As a RAW viewer, I've never seen or heard of this good looking woman but I've never heard or seen her in my life. So then, okay, I'm seeing this woman for the first time and she's losing." said Russo [21:40 – 22:40]
