LA Knight’s alliance with WWE star draws criticism; wrestling veteran Vince Russo blasts weak storyline (Exclusive)

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about LA Knight trying to team up with Jimmy Uso. The star took a Spear from Jey Uso last week and was trying to send out a message.

Knight got himself a tag team match against The Vision with a partner of his choosing this week. He approached Jimmy Uso to join him. Big Jim was initially reluctant, citing that The Usos had a match against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at Wrestlepalooza. However, after a disagreement with Jey, Jimmy decided to agree to team up with The Megastar.

During the recent episode of Legion of RAW, Vince Russo noted how the thread unfolded throughout the show. He felt the angle wasn't interesting enough to hook fans for the entirety of the episode. The veteran writer pointed out that none of the casual fans watching the show cared whether Jimmy Uso would team up with LA Knight or not.

"The Jimmy, LA Knight, and Jey Uso story is supposed to be the thread throughout the show. I can't possibly imagine if anybody cares [sic] if Jimmy Uso is or isn't going to team with LA Knight. Like seriously, who cares? If he says no, he says no. If he says yes, he says yes. There is no investment in this. Nothing. And this is supposed to be the thread or hook throughout the show. But do we really care if Jimmy says yes or no?" he said.

Jimmy and Knight finally faced The Vision in the main event. However, Bron and Bronson were too much to handle for the babyfaces and eventually got the win.

After the match, the heels systemically decimated Knight and Jimmy. Jey Uso rushed in with a steel chair to make the save. However, Knight planted him with a BFT to close out the show.
