Vince Russo was recently critical of Veer Mahaan’s return match

Veer Mahaan was absent from WWE programming for quite some time. However, he recently returned to the red brand in a squash match.

During his time on the main roster so far, Mahaan has feuded with The Mysterios but hasn’t been part of any other significant storylines.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW, Russo slammed Mahaan’s squash bout and claimed that he wouldn’t have booked such a contest during his time as a writer in WCW. Russo said:

It now remains to be seen how WWE will use Mahaan going forward on the red brand, especially under Triple H’s reign as the head of creative.
