Former WWE writer Vince Russo has voiced criticism regarding the handling of World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso on WWE RAW. Speaking on his “Legion of RAW” podcast, Russo suggested WWE is overly cautious with Uso’s microphone time.

Referring to a segment on the May 12th WWE RAW involving Uso and Gunther, Russo stated, “And bro, they are trying to protect Jey by not letting him say much, and I think they are hurting him more because it’s obvious they are not letting him say anything.”

Russo found the segment, where Gunther declared his intent to challenge for the title, to be ineffective. He remarked, “This entire segment was meaningless. It furthered nothing. Gunther could have told us that in 60 seconds in the back.”

Additionally, Russo was unimpressed with Gunther’s promo, labeling it generic. The segment set up that Gunther will face the winner of Jey Uso’s upcoming title defense against Logan Paul at Saturday Night’s Main Event on June 9th.
