Former WWE writer reacts to Drew McIntyre's loss on RAW

Vince Russo reacted to Drew McIntyre's loss to Jey Uso on RAW this past Monday night and criticized the company for the decision.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, the legend noted that he understood why Uso got the victory but wondered if the company had anything substantial planned for McIntyre. Russo added that the company attempted to protect The Scotsman during the match by claiming he got fooled, which Russo claimed had the opposite effect.

"Jey Uso and Drew, man. At what point does Drew get something? I understand the angle, I understand the gimmick. He's gotta win one time. Like at what point does Drew get something? I don't think it's to protect Drew because Michael Cole made sure he pointed out that Jey su**ered him in. You're not protecting him by saying he's a freaking idiot," he said. [From 1:04:33 onwards]
