Russo expressed frustration at not knowing when Bliss and Flair would get a shot at the Women’s tag team titles, highlighting a broader confusion about WWE’s booking decisions.
“To me, this is a number one contender’s match. I don’t even know when they get a shot. I’ve lost track with everything coming up. Who are they gonna put over this match? This is what I’m talking about. I don’t think Secret Hervice has ever won a match. I don’t think they’ve ever won a match. Michin and B-Fab have maybe won one. So, obviously, you’re doing an angle with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Obviously, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss are going over. That’s why I’m not gonna sit there for 10 minutes. I know they’re going over” —Vince Russo, Former WWE Head Writer
