Becky Lynch sported a new goat jacket on WWE RAW this week and it has faced mixed reviews. The jacket has been criticized for being more fitting for a babyface character. Vince Russo recently explained why he doesn't think it fits with Lynch as a heel.

The WWE RAW Women's Champion was seen wearing the attire while at ringside for the Triple Threat match between Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan and Doudrop. Former WWE writer Russo spoke on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW and highlighted the company's illogical heel and babyface dynamics.

While some fans loved Big Time Becks' look, Russo felt that the jacket would get her pops instead of jeers from the young crowd. These reactions wouldn't fit her villainous character. He was surprised that Vince McMahon allowed Lynch to come out with the jacket despite overseeing every detail at the Gorilla Position.

"Let's get back to the babyface and heel thing. What is Becky Lynch? A heel. She has got two goats that the little girls and the little kids are going to pop over. This is a heel with two little cuddly goats on her ring jacket. I can't believe Vince sees that. He is letting that go," stated Vince Russo.

Vince Russo on WWE's formatting of RAW

Vince Russo was head writer of WWE's creative team during the Attitude Era. The wrestling industry has drastically evolved since Russo left the company, and he specifically noted how he was surprised by the disappointing way WWE formatted RAW on Monday.

He underlined the errors in the the closing stages of the latest RAW. The wrestling personality referenced the way Becky Lynch was left standing in the ring while the company aired other vignettes.

The former WCW World Heavyweigt Champion explained why he dislikes the way RAW was organized this week and believes it has a damaging effect on the way talent is presented on TV.

"I'm starting to believe everything is a rib. I've formatted over a thousand shows. Chris, we do Becky's intro. Becky is standing in the ring. From Becky in the ring, we go to this Alexa Bliss vignette. After the vignette we go to another package. She is in the ring for like five minutes. They don't even know how to format a show," said Russo.
