Russo says that Paul Heyman is, “…the most unappealing, unattractive person on television today”. He adds that other than Vince McMahon, nobody would put Heyman on television today. Heyman cuts the same generic promo week after week, and he wishes that WWE would just turn Heyman into a cartoon character at this point.
Big Vito says he was glad to see A.J. Styles defeat Jinder Mahal for the WWE Title on Smackdown Live last week, because he thinks Styles vs. Lesnar is a more exciting matchup for Survivor Series. However, he thinks Styles will be a transitional Champion, and Mahal will regain his WWE Title during WWE’s upcoming tour of India.
Russo says that if WWE stuck with Mahal versus Lesnar at Survivor Series, he would have booked Mahal to defeat Lesnar clean. He feels that if WWE doesn’t put their Title on Mahal again in the near future, they would have basically wasted the last six months they spent building Mahal as a credible Champion.
Lane says he had a huge issue with WWE booking Triple H to Pedigree Jason Jordan right in front of Kurt Angle on RAW. Vito and Bolin agree, saying that an able-bodied wrestler like Angle should have been furious at the sight of his son being attacked, and he should have retaliated against Triple H. Russo agrees with all of that and adds that Jordan actually did a great job in this spot, especially since he was battling a hostile crowd.
