The latest episode of WWE Monday Night Raw featured Randy Orton as the special guest on ‘A Moment of Bliss”. However, Vince Russo pointed out that the segment had certain flaws that cannot be overlooked.

The primary idea behind the segment was for Randy Orton to find out The Fiend’s weakness. Hence, when the lights went off and came back on, Alexa Bliss was in Orton’s arms and The Fiend was begging ‘The Viper’ to return her.

According to Russo, if this was the case, then Alexa Bliss should have been showing that she was uncomfortable in the situation. Instead, she behaved as if she was where she wanted to be, in Orton’s arms.

“Let’s really break this down. Here is the biggest flaw. The lights go out; the lights come up. Alexa Bliss is in Randy Orton’s arms. She is not fighting him? She is not trying to get rid of him? And that threw me off right there because it was like. She was staring at him like, what, she was in love with him?”

Russo was rather astonished at Alexa Bliss enjoying the situation.

“Right off the bat, I’m like, wait; she is not fighting him? It looked like she was staring him in his eyes like she was in love with him. Then The Fiend does this gimmick. Here is the funniest part. The Fiend puts his arms out. Orton transfers her over to The Fiend.”

The Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss segment could have been better

Russo explained that WWE could have taken a different angle to this segment to make it interesting. ‘The Legend Killer’ could have done something different from just handing Bliss over after discovering she was The Fiend‘s weakness.

“Right then and there. This should have been the story for the entire night. Orton kidnaps Alexa Bliss against his will. That’s the show. That’s a three-hour show. Give me that show. I’ll give you freaking Shakespeare. But no, he wants her back; Orton gives her back. The best line was, the announcers putting this over, like they don’t know what they just saw, now they got to take the time off and go digest this thing. Bro, if you don’t know what you just saw, how do you think we feel at home?”
