The closing segment from this week’s RAW broadcast has drawn criticism from former WWE creative team member Vince Russo. The segment featured an interaction between Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman that reportedly failed to maintain audience engagement.
Russo addressed the segment during an episode of Legion of RAW, where he pointed out that viewers appeared to lose interest shortly after the confrontation began. According to Russo, the audience disconnected from the presentation within minutes of its start.
The segment in question involved Seth Rollins confronting Paul Heyman, with CM Punk eventually becoming involved in the situation. This interaction served as part of the build toward their upcoming match at WrestleMania 41.
Russo, who previously worked as a writer for WWE during different eras, offered his critique based on audience reaction and presentation rather than the storyline content itself. The former creative team member has frequently voiced opinions about WWE programming through his podcast and other media appearances.
The segment represented one of the final television interactions between these performers before their scheduled WrestleMania match. Despite the criticism, the confrontation continues to advance the storyline heading into WWE’s premier annual event.
