Vince Russo believes that WWE could ruin Chad Gable's momentum after RAW defeat
Chad Gable looked incredibly strong in his defeat against Gunther and earned himself a standing ovation from the live audience. However, Vince Russo is worried that WWE could now ruin his momentum.
Speaking on Legion of RAW, Vince Russo stated that WWE booked the former Shorty G well during his feud with The Ring General, and he expressed how important it was that it continues now the rivalry looks to have come to an end.
"Listen Gable has been working his butt off during this whole program. I never thought they were gonna put Gable over Gunther. I don't think they should have. I just hope this doesn't become another Ricochet. This is what they tend to do. They tend to say, 'Alright bro, it's time to put the spotlight on Chad Gable. So we're gonna get Gable in a program with Gunther. He's gonna take Gunther to the limits, the people are gonna be behind him. And at the end, he's just gonna lose by a hair.' But what's so important is, okay what do you do next? If you don't do anything next, it was just all for not," said Russo. [From 10:36 - 11:26]
