The Undertaker's defense against recent accusations doesn't make sense, thinks WWE veteran: "He probably saw a payday" (Exclusive)

WWE legend The Undertaker has been facing some allegations from fans lately, owing to his supposed part in getting his wife, Michelle McCool, to replace Mickie James in LFG. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo has also commented on the issue, and he thinks that the Deadman could not absolve himself completely from the matter.

The Undertaker recently defended himself, stating that he had not used his clout for personal gain. Nevertheless, it should be noted that Michelle McCool replaced Mickie James in Legends and Future Greats show, despite the latter having many fans behind her.

Vince Russo thinks that while 'Taker may not have directly led to the change, he had a significant role to play in the development. Speaking on Writing with Russo, the veteran stated:

"Why would Michelle McCool replace Mickie James [in LFG]? Why is she on this podcast when she’s not that good? And why in God’s name is she-what do you expect people to say, man? Of course that’s what they’re gonna say [i.e. him having a hand in McCool's appointment]. Whether he did it or not or whether he orchestrated it or not, that’s what they’re going to say. […] Chris let's face it. He probably saw a payday for his wife, [...] that payday coming from the WWE."

The WWE veteran thinks The Undertaker is not lying

Despite his beliefs, Vince Russo has been adamant about The Undertaker not being a liar.

Speaking on the same episode of Writing with Russo, the former WWE head writer stated:

"I do believe him. I would never doubt 'Taker, ever ever ever ever. No experience I have ever had with the guy, would I ever call him a liar. Ever ever, however, you gotta look at the facts here. First of all Mickie James was on that show [LFG]... Now you gotta understand something. Mickie James is a beloved figure, beloved. It's not like half of the people love Mickie, no, they love Mickie. So all of a sudden, Mickey as beloved as she is, with her experience is replaced by 'Taker's wife, who oh by the way, is also on the show. That's number one."

As of now, it remains to be seen what the Undertaker plans to do next in WWE.
