The EST had a breakout year in 2021; she won the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 37. But in recent months, her booking has been inconsistent, as she has struggled to return to the heights she enjoyed last year.
On the newest edition of Legion of RAW with Dr. Chris Featherstone, Russo reviewed the latest episode of WWE RAW. This week, RAW opened with a Becky Lynch promo, which led to a confrontation between Big Time Becks and Doudrop. This segment gave way to a tag team match in which Lynch and her current contender defeated Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan.
Russo criticized the opening segment of RAW and mentioned that it was confusing. He pointed out that the convoluted storylines made it difficult for fans to care about the performers. Additionally, while Russo stated that he was impressed by Belair’s athleticism, he criticized her character.
