After WWE SummerSlam concluded, Monday Night RAW featured several segments pushing future storylines, including the emergence of a new alliance involving the WWE RAW New Day. The group, which has been shaken since losing the WWE World Tag Team Titles, is now accompanied by Grayson Waller, known as the Aussie Icon. He recently ended his association with an injured Austin Theory and has been pursuing a connection with the seasoned tag team.
Vince Russo Criticizes the Cohesion of the New Day and Grayson Waller Alliance
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo expressed strong disapproval of this new partnership during the latest episode of Legion of RAW on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge. He questioned the logic behind consistently featuring this alliance, arguing that the members share no common ground and that the pairing fails to resonate with the audience.
“I’d love to know who in that room thinks this Grayson Waller New Day thing is working, to commit to this every single week. This is dog c**p, man. This ain’t working. I don’t know why you thought it would work in the first place. They’ve got nothing in common. It’s not an easy transition. I don’t know who came up with this, but you’re putting it on week after week, and it sucks, bro. It’s not good. It’s not working. Nobody cares.” —Vince Russo
Recent WWE RAW Match Highlights Potential Rivalries
In the latest episode, Grayson Waller faced off against the Luchador Penta, with The New Day providing ringside support for Waller. Despite their backing, Waller was defeated by Penta. Whether this contest sparks an ongoing feud or remains an isolated event is yet to be determined.
Significance and Possible Future of the WWE RAW New Day Alliance
Russo’s outspoken critique highlights tensions around WWE’s creative direction for this faction, suggesting the current iteration struggles to connect with fans. Moving forward, the WWE must consider whether to allow this alliance to evolve naturally or rethink its composition to regain audience investment. The outcome of this will likely impact how storylines develop in upcoming WWE RAW episodes.
