"They would offend people" - WWE veteran on a potential romantic storyline for Mandy Rose [Exclusive]

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently pitched an idea regarding a romantic storyline between Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke. If executed tastefully, he felt that this particular creative direction could add more stakes to their current partnership. Russo also shared a compelling idea that could kickstart Rose and Brooke's romance angle, which you can read HERE.

But on the latest episode of "Writing with Russo," he told Dr. Chris Featherstone that it would be a bad idea for the company to green-light a same-sex relationship storyline. According to Vince Russo, due to WWE's current creative state, the company could end up unintentionally offending viewers with this direction.

"Let me make one thing perfectly clear, with what they [WWE] have there now, creatively, I recommend one million percent they do not do this, Chris," stated Vince Russo. "Because they don't know how. Bro, they will mess this thing up so bad. And I'm gonna tell you bro, they would mess it up to the point of offending people. They would offend people, not even realizing they're offending people because they just don't know how to do stuff like that."

While WWE has received praise for some of their creative decisions on SmackDown, the general reception to Monday Night RAW has been quite negative lately.

While Shayna Baszler is seen as a serious character on WWE television, she is known to be quite funny in real life. Russo wished to see the latter side of her personality emerge on WWE RAW.
