Logan Paul’s surprise victory at WWE WrestleMania 41 has sparked mixed reactions, particularly from wrestling veteran Vince Russo. While Russo doesn’t have an issue with Logan’s win, he does believe that a crucial flaw in the booking was overlooked.
In the match against AJ Styles, Logan’s character, known for using underhanded tactics, surprisingly secured a clean victory without resorting to the brass knuckles he was supposed to use. Instead, an interruption by Logan’s lackey and Karrion Kross distracted Styles, leading to his defeat.
During an episode of WrestleMania Review on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Russo expressed his disappointment, stating, “For whatever reason, I don’t think this lived up to the hype at all. I just don’t, I think it really fell short. But bro, here is my biggest question mark… You gotta protect the babyfaces especially. So, bro, we introduce the brass knuckles in this match, right? Logan Paul winds up knocking out AJ Styles without using the knuckles? These are the things that I don’t, there are brass knuckles out there. But the heel isn’t gonna use them, he is just gonna knock out the babyface clean.”
Russo also shared his insights on how he would book Goldberg’s return to WWE. He emphasized the importance of portraying Goldberg in his classic dominant persona, with quick victories using his signature Spear move. Russo explained, “From now till Backlash, I am booking him like the old Bill Goldberg. I am booking him that he is coming out every single week on television and going through somebody in 10 seconds, with the Spear and the boom. That’s how I am booking him. He is not having 50-50, he is not having 10-minute matches, it’s the old Goldberg, bro.”
As fans eagerly await Triple H’s next move in WWE, the future remains uncertain. It will be interesting to see how these developments unfold in the world of professional wrestling.
