Vince Russo is calling out WWEs booking and he says the company is failing its own champions once they win titles. After the April 3 episode of WWE SmackDown saw Sami Zayn retain the United States Championship a result that led to backlash over Hayes seemingly missing WrestleMania 42 Russo jumped in with a much bigger issue. According to Russo, the problem isnt just one booking decision its a pattern. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Russo said WWE consistently fails to build stars after putting titles on them, arguing that winning a championship should be the beginning of a push not the end of it. Vince Russo explained that championships are supposed to raise a wrestlers level making them feel like a bigger deal and preparing them for the next step. But according to Russo, WWE isnt doing that and instead, champions are left in the same spot they were in before, making the title feel meaningless. He pointed directly at Hayes as the latest example, saying his run as champion lacked any real development beyond matches. Russo then connected that to the current situation with Hayes losing the title and now seemingly dropping right back down the card. He added that this isnt an isolated case, pointing to other names as part of the same issue. And when the discussion turned to what elevation really means, Russo doubled down arguing WWE is putting people at the top without giving them anywhere to go. With WrestleMania 42 right around the corner and questions already swirling about Carmelo Hayes spot, Russos remarks just add to the conversation about whether WWE is truly building its next generation of stars or just cycling them through title runs without long-term impact.
