This promo aimed to build anticipation for their encounter, emphasizing the tension between the two.
Concerns Over WWE’s Creative Approach from Vince Russo
During an episode of BroDown hosted by Mac Davis, Russo shared his disapproval of WWE’s current storytelling strategy. After reviewing multiple shows, he noticed a pattern of recycled segments, specifically highlighting the repeated opening act between Cena and Paul as an example.
“I gotta tell you, Mac. You know what I do now? I did it about five times on RAW, I swear to you. I’ll write it down, and next to it I’ll write LW. You know what LW means? You did it last week. You did the same exact thing last week. That’s why you’re opening up this show with John Cena and Logan Paul. What’s gonna be said that I haven’t already heard? Seriously, what are they going to say that they haven’t already said that you’re just going to repeat the same exact promo again.”
