CM Punk's terrible booking made WWE course correct with RAW superstar, feels wrestling veteran (Exclusive)

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about the problems with CM Punk's booking. The star was on SmackDown last Friday.

Last week on SmackDown, John Cena hit an Attitude Adjustment on Punk, putting him through a table. This week's programming involved another table spot where Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez ambushed Rhea Ripley. The 2-on-1 assault ended with Raquel putting Rhea through a table.

This week on Legion of RAW, Russo spoke about the inconsistencies in booking. He pointed out that after going through a table, CM Punk lay in the ring for almost 15-20 minutes while John Cena berated him in a promo. However, Rhea did not take that long to recover this week and was back up as soon as WWE returned from the commercial break. The veteran writer felt that the creative team needed to pay more attention to detail.

"I said it on SmackDown, because nothing means anything anymore. So, when CM Punk goes through a table, and he's laying there for 20 minutes. He freaking looks weak. We've seen people go through announce tables. So, what did they do tonight? He continued, "Rhea Ripley goes through the table, we go to commercial, we come back from commercial. She's sprinting into Pierce's office, and I'm like, well, I guess it did have the same effect on her that it had on CM Punk. I guess this is what I'm talking about, bro. Like, does anybody there realize any of this stuff, man?" [From 7:05 onwards]

Both Punk and Rhea are popular babyfaces. It will be interesting to see how they get retribution from their respective assailants in the coming weeks.
