Russo is no stranger to the corporate WWE lifestyle as he worked for the promotion during the Attitude Era and had a thorough understanding of how Vince McMahon’s inner circle of people operated.

Russo pointed out that Mr. McMahon’s group of backstage followers showcased traits of functioning like a cult. The former WWE personality claimed he’d seen many officials like Nick Khan depart the company, and most outgoing personnel didn’t even realize what contributed towards their exit.

Vince Russo explained that officials get envious when they see someone getting closer to Vince McMahon, and he feels Nick Khan might also be inadvertently making the wrong enemies backstage in WWE.

Nick Khan holds a lot of power as WWE’s President and Chief Revenue Officer, but people in the company would still be waiting for him to make a mistake, as stated by Russo.

The former WWE writer continued to highlight specific individuals in Vince McMahon’s camp who patiently wait to exploit any visible weaknesses.

Russo admitted that WWE would have also fired him had the TV ratings dipped, but he was fortunate enough to leave the company while he was at the top in 1999.

Here’s what Vince told Dr. Chris Featherstone on “Writing with Russo”:

Vince Russo says Nick Khan must maintain caution in WWE

Vince Russo luckily left the WWE before creating a possible scenario that could have got him fired. Russo also issued a cautionary reminder that he had personally witnessed the downfall of many high-ranking officials.

The former creative head added that Nick Khan’s Hollywood background might assist him while dealing with backstage politics in professional wrestling.

Russo made a few fiery closing statements. He labeled people close to Vince McMahon as lingering vultures who await the opportunity to sabotage other careers. The former WWE employee said all it took was one opening, and suddenly all of Vince McMahon’s close associates would ideally be seen getting in the boss’ ear.

Vince Russo believes that one clumsy error can be blown out of proportion by a group shrouded with envy and deep discontent.

Nick Khan has grown to become one of the most disliked WWE Executives due to recent mass releases. It seems like Khan has his fair share of haters both in and outside WWE, and Vince Russo’s words may come in handy somewhere down the line.

Russo also disputed the big story about Triple H and Nick Khan being best friends during the latest “Writing with Russo” and blamed the WWE Executive for undoing all of The Game’s good work for NXT.
