Former WWE writer Vince Russo has voiced strong criticism regarding the opening segment of the May 12, 2025, episode of WWE RAW. Speaking on “Legion of RAW,” Russo specifically questioned the booking decision where babyface wrestlers held a numerical advantage over the heels.

Russo stated, “This is how we went off the air last week. The babies [babyfaces] are out manning the heels. Does that make any sense to anybody? You’re supposed to get heat on the heels, and how you do that is they outman the babies [babyfaces]. There’s [sic] three babies and two heels.”

The segment began with CM Punk, which led to an altercation where Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker initially confronted him. Sami Zayn and World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso later joined, leaving the babyface trio facing the two heels.
