Vince Russo's take on Kevin Owens possibly winning the Money in the Bank briefcase

During the same conversation, Vince Russo claimed that he cannot fantasy book WWE storylines, as he personally wouldn't have booked it in the same manner.

The former WWE head writer added that he couldn't care less about Owens winning the briefcase and further pointed out a win-loss pattern that the former Universal Champion underwent in the company.

"I can't fantasy book what they're putting in front of me bro. I would've never booked this stuff. You could keep asking me, maybe something will pop. Let me put it to you this way if Kevin Owens wins the case from Austin Theory... who cares? I've seen Kevin Owens do so, win-lose, win-lose, win-lose... I've seen it all bro. I've seen it," said Russo.
