Former WWE writer criticizes Trish Stratus' opponent following Elimination Chamber

Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently criticized Candice LeRae and suggested she doesn't belong on the roster.

Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton defeated Candice LeRae and Nia Jax in a back-and-forth match at WWE Elimination Chamber. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo show, the veteran stated that he didn't want to pick on LeRae but claimed that she only has a job due to Shawn Michaels. Russo also claimed that The Poison Pixie was never going to get over on the main roster.

"Let's concentrate more time on who we're going to go with and let's cut the fat," Russo said. "If it's me, I hate to pick on her, I really do hate to pick on her, but, let's be honest, Shawn Michaels fell in love with Johnny Gargano. Johnny Gargano should not be on the show and, if that's not bad enough, Johnny Gargano's wife is on the show. That girl is never gonna be a star. She's never gonna be over in a million years. So, I know that, so you know what? We kinda need to eliminate that." [From 12:00 – 12:38]
