#2 Vince Russo thinks Austin Theory will never get over in WWE

Austin Theory made his return to RAW this week after being drafted from NXT. Soon, he attacked Jeff Hardy after clicking a selfie with him. As per Vince Russo, the former NXT superstar will never get over in WWE.

''Bro, who is the guy that attacked Hardy? Never going to get over in his entire life. Ever. This guy will never get over. Ever! Bro, all I had to do was see a picture of Ridge Holland. This guy will never get over,'' said Russo

The former WWE writer further said on SportsKeeda's Legion of RAW that guys like Austin Theory and Ridge Holland won't make a name for themselves in WWE. He said that WWE has done a poor job with Keith Lee and if they can't get someone who looks like him over with the crowd, then there's no hope for the likes of Ridge Holland.

#1 Plans for Finn Balor in WWE

Finn Balor was drafted to WWE RAW. As per WrestleVotes, a writer said that he'll be put into the role that was occupied by Drew McIntyre on RAW till now.

Only speculation I heard over the weekend included a story about how a RAW writer “banged the table” for Finn Balor to be used in McIntyre’s role now on Monday nights. We shall see."

Drew McIntyre had settled into a mid-card role since his feud with Bobby Lashley ended. The Scottish Warrior had led RAW during the pandemic era but was floundering since the crowds returned.
