Vince Russo discussed the match between Bobby Lashley and Riddle from the RAW to WrestleMania on the latest issue of Legion of RAW. Russo was clearly not impressed because he felt the result was predictable and felt that the first 20 minutes of the show were wasted:
“Lashley defends the title against Drew at WrestleMania on Saturday night. And now there’s the good old Riddle driving around in the back of his scooter and deciding he wants a game against Bobby Lashley. The first 20 minutes of this program are [sic] eaten up with Lashley going over Riddle, ‘said Vince Russo.

“They just beat Riddle at WrestleMania, they just beat Lashley tonight Riddle, but I’ll tell you … I think Riddle has enough charisma, enough personality, he will be able to overcome these defeats. His career is just He will “it can happen and that’s what they’re probably banking on, but just the fact that Lashley was giving this guy a match, two days after WrestleMania, the first 20 minutes of this show was absolute nonsense,” Russo said. .
