"They couldn't come up with something else?" - WWE veteran criticizes Becky Lynch segment on RAW (Exclusive)
The buildup to the Day 1 pay-per-view between Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan continued this week.
Morgan and Lynch had a heated exchange of words before the number one contender attacked the RAW Women's Champion. Eventually, Becky took control of the situation, trapped Liv's arm on the steel steps and repeatedly stomped on it. She walked away with a smug look while Morgan lay writhing in pain.
However, former WWE head writer Vince Russo didn't seem impressed with Becky Lynch's gimmick. While speaking with Dr. Chris Featherstone on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, he appeared dumbfounded about her wardrobe choice, among other things.
Here's what Russo said:
"Bro, what was she [Becky] wearing? I was trying to figure out the whole time what is she wearing? I had no idea."
He also pointed out a few glaring loopholes in the segment, like the copycat gimmick Becky Lynch adopted and how the steel steps suddenly seemed unmovable.
"Wasn't Shayna Baszler doing that arm gimmick to women about a month-and-a-half ago? They couldn't come up with something else? And could you explain this to me: Somehow Liv's arm is caught between the ring post and the steps, but we see them pick up the steps and move the steps a hundred times a show," Russo said. "But now, when somebody's got their arm caught, they can't move the steps?"
