#5 Vince Russo slams WWE's treatment of Eric Bischoff
Eric Bischoff made a return to WWE on the 27th December episode of RAW. He had been asked by Bruce Prichard to be part of the show just four days before. However, he did not know that Prichard and Vince McMahon would not be present backstage.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's Legion of RAW, Russo criticized the treatment of the Hall of Famer Bischoff and also noted that younger superstars like Rhea Ripley might be victims of mismanagement.
“This guy is a Hall of Famer! He has no idea Bruce isn’t gonna be there, Vince isn’t gonna be there, [Executive Vice President] Kevin Dunn isn’t gonna be there. But my point is, bro, if they’re giving Eric Bischoff this treatment, how much time do you think they’re spending with a Rhea Ripley? That’s my point,” said Russo.
Bischoff had returned to officiate the marriage vows renewal between The Miz and Maryse. The segment also featured Edge, who interrupted the segment and left Miz and Maryse covered in Brood Blood on their special day.
