WWE RAW main event labeled as "sloppy" by wrestling veteran (Exclusive)
WWE aired the latest episode of RAW from New Orleans, Louisiana. The show featured a much-awaited face-off between Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. Seth Rollins also addressed his future after being injured last week. Vince Russo has now shared his thoughts on the program's main event, which saw Drew McIntyre take on Damian Priest.
McIntyre secured a crucial win over Priest after a distraction by R-Truth. The former 24/7 Champion came out to the ring to give Priest his share of the profits from recent merchandise sales. This allowed The Scottish Warrior to capitalize and deliver a Claymore to The Archer of Infamy.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, former WWE head writer Vince Russo criticized the match and said he didn't like the comedy spot:
“It was really, really sloppy. There were a lot of spots in the match where it looked like they were waiting for each other. It was not a good match, and I didn’t like the comedy spot, where’s the referee? Come on, bro! The referee’s helping him pick money,” he said. (45:33 - 45:53)
