Top RAW Rumors: WWE trying to 'break' Superstar backstage? Vince McMahon 'punishing' former Champion for off-screen behaviour; Braun Strowman's future uncertain;  (30th November)

#4 Vince McMahon punishing RAW Superstar for backstage antics?

While speaking on SportsKeeda's Legion of RAW, former WWE writer Vince Russo touched upon the possible reason behind Riddle's absurd booking on RAW. Russo commented that Riddle is being portrayed as an idiot just because he says the word 'bro'.

''I'm sitting here and I'm like 'Isn't this R-Truth's shtick?' Doesn't R-Truth play this... is Riddle an idiot now just because he says the word 'bro'? So now they've managed to make Riddle a complete, total idiot. And I thought R-Truth was the village idiot.''

Further talking about RAW's Riddle, Russo said that he has the potential to be a breakout star like AEW's Darby Allin but is probably being punished by WWE for the allegations against him.

''So then again it's stuff like this that I got to really look back, I know Riddle's been in trouble, is this punishment for... You always have to ask yourself that with this company. There always seems to be some kind of motive because you can't be booking that badly. You can't."

Vince Russo said that he believes WWE is going the wrong route with Riddle and turning him into a comedy character would be detrimental.
