Fans in attendance weren’t too invested in the promo, however, as they kept interrupting the Rated-R Superstar.
On this week’s Legion of RAW, Vince Russo revealed that he wasn’t a fan of the 11-time world champion’s “archaic” promo and wasn’t surprised that the crowd didn’t react to it positively.
Russo highlighted how fans laughed during the segment, and he personally also disliked several aspects of the angle:
The former writer was astounded that WWE’s creative department wasn’t aware of their failures as the audience clearly rejected Edge’s explanation.
Vince Russo found it embarrassing that fans attending the shows were making fun of WWE’s outdated product and its performers.
“They are not doing it because he’s a heel” - Vince Russo on how fans reacted to Edge’s promo
Russo was quick to clarify that Edge did not receive ‘heel heat’ on RAW as viewers genuinely did not care what the Hall of Famer had to say regarding his recent actions in his feud with AJ Styles.
Vince Russo noted that even an established talent like Edge couldn’t avoid the jeers and urged the promotion to create better content for its wrestlers:
More members are expected to join the veteran superstar’s heel stable after Damian Priest, and it seems like WWE has big plans for the villainous group on RAW.
