There was a scary spot during the match in which Keith Lee executed a flip dive on Strowman and Sheamus on the outside. Keith Lee couldn’t stick the landing as the back of his head awkwardly bumped off the apron before he fell on top of his opponents. The point of impact looked brutal, and thankfully, Keith Lee didn’t get legitimately hurt due to the dive and could continue the match.

Vince Russo reacts to Keith Lee’s diving spot from RAW

Vince Russo was critical about the Keith Lee spot on the latest edition of Sportskeeda’s Legion of RAW with Dr. Chris Featherstone.

Featherstone agreed and said that he doesn’t want big men like Keith Lee to be pushed as a cruiserweight as it just isn’t necessary.

Russo then explained the flawed logic behind the diving spots that are a significant feature of most wrestling matches. Matches can only end inside the ring via pinfall or submission (unless it’s a Falls Count Anywhere bout). Superstars executing dives on the outside thus go against the basic rule and reasoning of a wrestling match.

Russo explained:

Featherstone chimed in and made an excellent point by highlighting the Undertaker’s dives, which only happened in the big matches. It felt like a special attraction exclusively reserved for matches in which The Deadman had to work hard for his win.

During the latest installment of Legion of RAW, Vince Russo also criticized Keith Lee’s style of cutting promos and why he thinks the RAW Superstar will not get over if he continues to do the same.
