"There's no planning and they don't want to spend the time" - Former WWE writer bashes Roman Reigns' character work (Exclusive)

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo has not been a fan of Roman Reigns' character work recently.

Russo discussed the fallout from the Royal Rumble after Reigns cost Brock Lesnar the WWE Championship at the premium live event.

On the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo mentioned that WWE was doing the same old thing with Reigns' character. He suggested that we could see a lot more variety and depth with the gimmick if writers started planning the show better.

Here's what Russo had to say about the Tribal Chief:

"There's no planning, they don't want to spend the time. The hottest show on TV right now is Yellowstone. You know the history of the Samoans, you know how many people we could be seeing? We could be seeing that same exact thing, that same exact culture, what being at the Head of the Table really means. You can't see all that when you're writing the show at 2 o'clock in the afternoon," Russo said. [25:32-26:21]
