Vince Russo Says Carmelo Hayes’ U.S. Title Loss Shows Major WWE Booking Problem

TLDR

Vince Russo criticized WWE's championship booking following Sami Zayn's victory over Carmelo Hayes for the United States Championship. Russo argued that WWE frequently fails to elevate wrestlers after they win titles, and when they lose the championship, they return to their previous position instead of being built up to the next level. He specifically cited Hayes as the latest example of what he considers a long-running pattern in WWE's handling of former champions.
