"They're having a problem" – Former WWE writer reasons why Drew McIntyre was added to WrestleMania Backlash (Exclusive)

Drew McIntyre is a former two-time WWE Champion

Former WWE writer Vince Russo believes that Drew McIntyre was added to the tag team match between RK-Bro and The Usos to boost ticket sales for WrestleMania Backlash.

Last week on SmackDown, Roman Reigns tore up the contract for the Title Unification Tag Team match on May 8. He assaulted Riddle as McIntyre rushed in to make the save. After the show, it was announced that a six-man tag team match would be the main event of the upcoming premium live event.

Vince Russo was on this week's episode of Legion of RAW, where he detailed that WWE may have a problem with ticket sales for Sunday's show. He reasoned that the creative added McIntyre and Roman Reigns to the tag team match just to push the sales.

Here's what Russo had to say:

"I've got a feeling, it's not selling well because there was so much promotion for that show throughout this entire show. I mean definitely more than usual. I'm wondering if they're having a problem with ticket sales. Maybe that's why they added Drew to the card too. Maybe that's why they just added other people because they promoted the heck out of it bro." (From 31:00 - 31:29)
