"Zero logic" - Wrestling veteran goes off on recent AJ Lee promo on RAW

A longtime wrestling veteran had a lot of criticism directed towards AJ Lee, WWE, and one particular moment she had in her recent return to Monday Night RAW. He believes the segment had zero logic.

On the latest episode of Writing with Russo, host Dr. Chris Featherstone asked veteran wrestling figure and ex-WWE writer Vince Russo about his thoughts on AJ Lee's return at Wrestlepalooza, where she will team up with her husband, CM Punk, to face the power couple of Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.

Vince Russo had previously went off about AJ Lee's promo on RAW on 8th September, and continued to criticize the segment as well as anybody who enjoyed it:

"If you believed anything you saw from AJ Lee's return to that god awful return on Monday, you're just a complete mark. Absolutely zero logic, but you've got to get the babyfaces over."

The context of Vince Russo's criticism of AJ Lee's promo

Vince Russo's comment will certainly be received in a polarizing way, as the former Divas Champion who returned after a decade is a beloved figure in the WWE Universe. But what is the context of his criticism?

On Sportskeeda's Legion of RAW following the 8th September episode, Vince Russo doubled down on his accusations of Triple H being a "pop merchant" as he believes the AJ Lee segment represented much of WWE today, i.e, built around pleasing live audiences rather than viewers on TV or streaming:

"I thought this was horrible. She was talking about freaking mental health. I went for therapy, and now the marks are chanting therapy. I'm like, what are we freaking watching here, bro? This is awful, this is awful, bro. There is not one shred of reality in anything they do. What we're seeing is for that crowd. If you're not a part of this crowd, and you're trying to watch this, good luck!"

This week on RAW, Lee and CM Punk were tricked into believing that Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were having a fallout, leading to the Women's Intercontinental Champion making a move against her opponent at Wrestlepalooza. It was a classic swerve, with the power couple of WWE establishing their dominance on the go-home episode of RAW.
