Vince Russo wasn’t a fan of last night’s Bobby Lashley and Riddle match on WWE RAW.
Bobby Lashley retained the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, defeating Drew McIntyre. As for Riddle, he lost the WWE United States Championship to Sheamus on the Show of Shows.
Vince Russo discussed the match between Bobby Lashley and Riddle of the RAW after WrestleMania on the latest edition of Legion of RAW. Russo was clearly unimpressed as he felt the result was predictable and felt like the first 20 minutes of the show were wasted:
“Lashley will defend the title against Drew at WrestleMania on Saturday night. And now good old Riddle, driving around in the back of his scooter, decides he wants a match against Bobby Lashley. So Bobby Lashley is going to give Riddle a very predictable match. The first 20 minutes of this show [sic] eaten while Lashley took over Riddle, ”Vince Russo said.
Vince Russo on WWE’s booking of Riddle
Vince Russo also provided insight into how WWE is currently booking Riddle. He thinks Riddle was booked to lose at both WrestleMania and the RAW afterward, as WWE believes RIddle has the charisma to take losses without hurting him too much:
“They just beat Riddle at WrestleMania, they just beat Lashley tonight with Riddle, but I’ll tell you this … Riddle has enough charisma in my opinion, enough personality, he will be able to overcome these defeats. He will be able to overcome this and that’s what they’re probably counting on, but just the fact that Lashley is giving this guy a match, two days after WrestleMania, the first 20 minutes of this show was absolute bullshit, ” said Russo.
