Vince Russo thinks WWE RAW Superstar could be fired [Exclusive]
Former WWE writer Vince Russo shared his thoughts on RAW Superstar Veer Mahaan and the United States champion Damian Priest.
WWE has been airing vignettes hyping up Veer Mahaan's debut on RAW for the last few months. However, Mahaan was notably absent from this week's show.
In the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo spoke about it with Dr. Chris Featherstone, suggesting WWE could've dropped the angle of Mahaan's debut entirely. He further added that if there's no vignette on him next week, he could potentially be released from the company.
"Dr. Chris, what was missing on the show? Bro, how funny would it be if we never see or hear from Veer Mahaan again [laughs]. How hysterical will it be?" Russo continued, and mentioned the possibility of Mahaan being fired. "I'm looking forward to next week's show, if there's no mention of him two weeks in a row, then he's done, bro."

Vince Russo's opinion on WWE US Champion Damian Priest's split personality
Further in the episode, Vince Russo commented on United States Champion Damian Priest's split personality, comparing it to the fictional character Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Jekyll was kind while Hyde was his dark persona, pretty similar to Priest's character in WWE currently.
Russo questioned why Priest is dealing with these inner demons because WWE hasn't provided a storyline explanation for this gimmick.
"First of all bro, like when you talk about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, there was a story behind it. Have we been informed why he's [Damian Priest] Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? See that's the problem, Chris. If there is a story, if there is a reason, if this kid was traumatized at five years old... But when you are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and nobody knows why then you are just watching like okay [laughs]."
Against all odds, @ArcherofInfamy retains the #USTitle on #WWERaw! https://t.co/vXLQdfRDEc
The Archer of Infamy's rage has cost him several matches in the past and he was put to the test this week as he defended his title against Dolph Ziggler. Despite multiple attempts from Robert Roode and Ziggler to enrage Priest and get him disqualified, the champion kept his cool and retained the title.
