Former WWE Head Writer, Vince Russo, was invited to Cody Rhodes' All In corresponding Starrcast event. Starrcast even announced Russo's appearance with an All In graphic, which announced the controversial podcast host's appearance. Russo nemesis Ryan Satin also chimed in:

Two dogs announced in one day.

This one is much better. https://t.co/AZVjWc5Flt

After much backlash, Russo was unceremoniously removed from the event, with all previous mentions of his appearance being deleted from All In & Starrcast's social media pages. Russo took to Twitter to respond:

The ABSOLUTE FACT that I am ready, willing and able to appear at ALL IN while others are already attempting to do EVERYTHING in their power to keep me from attending-tells you just about everything you need to know about ME & THEM.

I'll gladly take the blackballing if I can prevent even ONE guy/girl from suffering a career ending injuryin a performace that is "supposed" to be a "worked" fight. . Any day of the week.

Those tweets didn't sit well with Cody Rhodes, who followed up with:

We don't reward bad behavior. Stay away from our event. https://t.co/CzMCHhVB6m

There has been no official explanation as to why Russo was invited in the first place.

Tickets for All In go on sale tomorrow at 3PM CST. Starrcast tickets will be available to the public starting May 15th at 7PM CST.
