On this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, the polarizing “love triangle” storyline involving real-life married couple Rusev and Lana and Bobby Lashley pushed forward, with the latter two wrestlers getting arrested by police despite how the “Bulgarian Brute” violated the terms of his restraining order. While this segment again received a lot of criticism from fans, a new report suggests that WWE owner and chairman Vince McMahon loved how things went down and still thinks very highly of the angle in general.
Citing internal sources, Paul Davis of WrestlingNews.co wrote that McMahon supposedly was a big fan of the latest twists in the love triangle storyline, having approved the arrest segment “days ago” and only made a few changes to its script ahead of this week’s Raw.
“Vince loves everything about this story,” one of Davis’ sources was quoted as saying. “The numbers are above average for these segments so they will do them until people stop caring.”
