Former WWE writer Vince Russo recently made claims that he has been working with USA Network on WWE RAW, but was this actually true?
According to a recent report from Ringside News, it’s not exactly true, at least from the sources they have been speaking to.
Speaking on his podcast recently, Russo claimed: “I’ve been keeping a little secret for the last two+ years. I want to come clean. Well, bro, I’m going to break the news to you on this show. I have not said this publicly before.
“From March, pre-Mania, bro, it was right before Mania in 2020, up until this past Mania in 2022. So basically, bro, for two years, I was consulting for the USA Network. For two years, bro, the USA Network paid me very, very, very well” he stated.
Vince Russo Claims
RSN revealed that they tried to get clarification on the situation: “Ringside News reached out to confirm this claim, and we were told something very interesting.
“A tenured member of the creative team confirmed to us that some people have worked with the USA Network to consult RAW, but Russo’s name was never mentioned” the site revealed.
“We were told that Max Landis, the son of John Landis who was outed during the #MeToo movement, was one of those people who consulted USA Network about RAW.
“We were also told that, ‘a few ended up on the phone with WWE lead writers, Russo was certainly not one of those people'” the site concluded.
