"What else it could be" - Current WWE star's creativity has led to his poor booking under Triple H, veteran speculates (Exclusive)

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo has shared his thoughts on Elias' booking under Triple H's regime.

The 35-year-old star has mainly been a part of squash matches since Triple H took over the reins of the creative department and has not featured much on TV. He was in action on the red brand this week, where Omos defeated him in under two minutes.

On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo was asked if Elias' poor booking was due to him having a lot of creative ideas, as WWE does not encourage that to an extent. Here's what the veteran had to say:

"I don't know what else it could be. Let me ask you this because I don't know if this has changed or not. I know Elias used to get a lot of heat with the wrestling marks because he's not their kind of wrestler. Does he still get that type of heat? That's the only other thing I could think of since they are definitely catering [to hardcore fans]." [25:15 - 25:44]
