Vince Russo had some interesting thoughts to share this week (via Russo's Instagram and X handle)

The WWE community has been gripped by reports of backstage issues involving a major star recently, who surprisingly is Drew McIntyre. However, Vince Russo believes that this is all a worked storyline.

Drew apparently had a sketchy spot at Royal Rumble, where he was eliminated by Damian Priest. Afterward, The Scottish Warrior was reportedly seen being uncharacteristically angry backstage, seemingly complaining about how his spot did not go as planned.

Speaking about the topic on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, Russo stated:

"This is why I am not buying it because I think, I think I actually think I interviewed Drew once, I never met the dude. But I get the impression that you know, he is professional, he is a nice guy. He is not the squeaky wheel, you know what a squeaky wheel gets. He is not back there bit*hing and moaning and complaining, which is why I don't believe he was bitc*ing and moaning and complaining after the finish. That's why I don't believe that." [4:06 onwards]

Vince Russo is not pleased with how Drew McIntyre has been handled in WWE

According to Vince Russo, the creative department of WWE has hardly done justice to Drew's talent.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's YouTube channel, the former Head Writer stated that the only factor keeping The Scottish Warrior relevant was his own talent. He said:

"I don't know how Drew McIntyre has any juice at all. Thank God. If Drew McIntyre was not a great performer, he would have been future endeavored already. The only thing that keeps him relevant is his performance. They've done nothing for this guy creatively. Zero, bro, nothing." [From 48:42 onwards]
