On Monday’s Raw, WWE brought back Shane McMahon to lead “Raw Underground”, as a way to help the ratings for this week’s episode. Former WWE stars Miro (Rusev) and Maria Kanellis took exception to this creative decision by tweeting the following:
“WWE doesnt want to build new stars, they want to spike the ratings for a couple weeks to keep the investors/networks happy. What WWE doesn’t seem to get, is ratings improve when people care about the story/stars. Invest in talent, spend the time building stars, stop the laziness.” – Maria Kanellis
“We want to build new talent”. Shane is back! Sums it up. – Miro
