Wrestling legend Vince Russo was not a fan of Jade Cargill's heel turn on SmackDown.

"Look at this sh*t. What do you guys want me and Mac to talk about for an hour? This show is one big fight. That's all it is. That guy is attacking this guy, this guy is attacking that guy. We're gonna turn Jade Cargill heel for no reason. We're gonna do the Naomi-Jade Cargill storyline with Fatu. I swear to God, Triple H, Paul Heyman, Prichard, Hayes, whoever the hell is involved should drop to their knees and thank God for AI. Thank God for AI because literally AI is the only thing that can save their jobs. That's the only thing that can save their jobs," said Russo.
