Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane, Big Vito and Kenny Bolin.

Russo says that while watching RAW this week he was amazed because against all odds, Jason Jordan is getting himself over. Jordan has been cutting great promos with lacklustre material and his work in the ring has always been steady, so in spite of the way he’s been positioned by WWE, Jordan is starting to make this storyline work.

He also says that all the marks out there who continue to criticize Roman Reigns need to stop because Reigns has proven himself to be a very valuable commodity to WWE over the last couple of years. His work on the mic and in the ring has continued to steadily improve, and in the last two weeks Reigns has almost single-handidly made two new Superstars in Elias and Jason Jordan.

Vito asks Russo if he wrote The Rock’s iconic catch phrase, “It doesn’t matter what you think!” Russo informs that he didn’t write that line, and it was actually The Rock who came up with that.

Lane says he absolutely loved the backstage interaction between Enzo Amore and Nia Jax and Russo agrees, pointing out that WWE can do a lot of creative things with that pairing. On the other hand, Russo didn’t like the Cruiserweight Fatal 4-way match because he thinks all the cruiserweight matches are way too choreographed.

Russo says WWE proved how dumb they are right at the beginning of RAW this week when the commentators made it known that all the doors to the arena were locked and security was surrounding the building. Russo says this made the RAW Superstars look like ‘pussies’ when in reality, the RAW Superstars should have been furious and should have been begging the Smackdown Live roster to come back so they could get their revenge from last week.

Vito says he liked that Stephanie McMahon opened the show because that was a ratings draw. Russo completely disagrees saying that Stephanie obviously didn’t pop the ratings because this week’s ratings were lower than last week’s. He also says that he hate’s Stephanie’s character because she’s one dimensional and she constantly buries talents without allowing the talents to have a comeback.

Bolin says it was great to see Samoa Joe return on this show, and he’s a big fan of Joe. Before Joe got to WWE Bolin was unaware how great he was at cutting promos, so that has been a pleasant surprise since he started in NXT. He also says that WWE has something great in Joe if they allow him to be the Joe from ROH. Russo says that’s all fine and dandy but Joe needs to stop wearing ‘clown shorts’.

Russo is joined on today’s show by Kenny ‘Starmaker’ Bolin and his co-host Jeff Lane.

Russo says he always gives credit where credit is due and The Shield’s reunion has been done very well by WWE. He points out that they got a big pop when they reunited on RAW this week and although it’s smart of WWE to give the fans what they want in this case, one part of Russo was wishing for Ambrose and Rollins to turn on Reigns when they were standing at the top of the ramp early in this show.

Bolin points out that opening an episode of RAW with Sheamus is something that he’d avoid at all costs. He says he’s never been a fan of Sheamus and he often turns off the television when Sheamus comes on but apparently Sheamus is ‘Triple H’s boy’, and evidently that’s enough to keep you on WWE programming for a long period of time.

Russo says he had RAW on in the background on Monday and when he looked up he saw Enzo Amore in the ring. For the first time in forever he actually rewinded RAW in order to hear Amore’s promo. In regards to the lumberjack match, Russo says it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever to have the heel outnumbered by a dozen babyface lumberjacks on the outside of the ring.
