Vince Russo criticizes WWE creative following SmackDown

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo was not happy following last week's episode of SmackDown.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown show, the legend complained about the company's creative direction and claimed that they were not capable of creating a better show. Russo suggested that fans have been watching the same show for months, and it wasn't going to improve anytime soon.

"You're not going to get a better creative end run show. Whether it's two hours or three hours, this is the show you're going to get. We've seen the same show now for months and months and months and months. There's no reason to think that this show is going to change anytime soon." [From 11:12 onwards]

The winners of the Men's and Women's Money in the Bank ladder matches at the PLE tomorrow night earn future title shots. It will be fascinating to see if the company has any surprises planned for the final episode of SmackDown before Money in the Bank.
