"Grow a freaking set" - Wrestling veteran slams WWE for booking current faction weakly following Rhea Ripley's assault on RAW (Exclusive)
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo has slammed both WWE and Bianca Belair's team following Rhea Ripley's attack on this week's RAW.
Following the Belair team's confrontation with Damage CTRL and Ripley on the most recent episode of Monday Night RAW, Ripley was scheduled for a match with Asuka. The Eradicator defeated Asuka, after which a brawl broke out between the two teams. Ripley then took out each one of them before getting wiped out by Mia Yim.
Bianca Belair went on to mention on the episode that she would reveal the fifth member of her team later. Speaking on the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo criticized WWE's booking of Belair and her stablemates. The former WWE writer also suggested that the stars should have revealed their fifth member.
"If I am the freaking USA Network you're cutting a promo on, you're not telling us who the fifth member is till SmackDown? Are you kidding? I thought for sure they were gonna reveal at the end, I thought for sure! When they didn't, I'm like, 'Bro, what are you guys, the welcome mat?' I would be cutting such a promo on them tomorrow morning. Like bro, grow a freaking set. Your show's not good enough for them to reveal the fifth party?" (55:02 - 55:42)

Vince Russo was also displeased with WWE's booking of RAW Superstar Rhea Ripley. In the same interview, Russo mentioned that the company should've put The Eradicator in the opening match.
"You wanna at least try to draw a number," he said. "Put freaking Rhea Ripley in the match! We'd have put Chyna. Chyna would've been in that match. Put Rhea Ripley in the freaking match bro and put another girl at the end. You didn't need her in that spot."
It will be interesting to see how Damage CTRL and Ripley end their rivalry with Bianca's team.
