The last thing WWE should be doing is listening to what crowds have to say during live events and on TV, at least according to Vince Russo.
On a recent edition of his “Writing with Russo” podcast, Russo explained why he believes WWE should stop listening to live audiences. He said,
“Bro, I’ve given up on the crowd. I’m not booking that [John Cena vs. Randy Orton storyline] based on what the crowd does or doesn’t do. Chris, I’ve gotta tell you, man, I don’t see getting them back. I really don’t because I told you, Chris, we’re at the point where now they’re singing the names like they do in Europe. Bro, there’s no getting them back.”
While singing theme songs has been typically kept to fans in Europe, the act has become increasingly common at shows in the United States.
During recent episodes of SmackDown, fans have been signing along to Randy Orton’s theme. Orton will battle John Cena at WWE Backlash 2025.
