Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about the hard-hitting encounter between The New Day and Imperium this week.
Ludwig Kaiser has been viciously taking out New Day members Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston over the last few weeks. This led to a tag team match between the two factions. The two tandems went hard at each other, and all hell broke loose after the two teams went through some tables in the tech area, and the match ended in a double countout.
On the latest episode of Legion of RAW, Russo detailed that it was a decent match by live event standards. However, the former writer made it clear that there was no payoff to the whole angle. He mentioned that it didn't matter to WWE or its fans who won, and there were no stakes for either team.
"Great house show stuff, bro. There's no stakes, this program doesn't mean anything. It doesn't matter who goes over. They're getting excited in the house with tables, this that, and the other thing. That's great but for television, why am I watching this?" [From 12:38 onwards]
