Vince Russo Slams WWE Chief Triple H’s ‘Pop-Stockpiling’ Booking Style

After AJ Lee’s SmackDown comeback, Russo blasted Triple H for relying on surprise returns to spark ratings. “He’s stockpiling the pops,” Russo said, arguing fans just watch highlights instead of full shows. With WWE now tied to Netflix, Russo warns that short-term pops like Brock Lesnar’s return won’t sustain long-term viewership. Recently, SmackDown saw its viewership dip below 1.2 million.
