Just let these four and also Kairi do their own thing and WWE just stays out of their way and doesn't try to "help" them.

I just realised Asuka is the one in her late 30s with a husband and kid/s. God her recent goofy run is so wonderful.

Codependent Poster posted:I get a kick out of the fact Charlotte is the one that gets shoved into everything and pushed super hard, but she's less popular than all of Bayley, Sasha, and Becky. IIRC, Asuka, Bayley and Sasha have seen ratings increase, while Charlotte's guest spots are always accompanied by a noticeable dip in ratings. The common factor is obviously that Charlotte's opponents aren't draws. Obviously.

Big Dave with the Scoops Sane, 31, is returning to Japan to be with her husband. This has been in the works for a while and the company has known about it since May if not earlier. Sane was injured by Jax legit by being thrown into the ring steps hard when she was too close to the steps to control her bump on a Raw match taped on 5/26, which had to be stopped and was edited before it aired on television on 6/1. That’s why she hasn’t been around since, although she is cleared and is scheduled to appear on Raw soon as she is listed for the 7/3 tapings which would be for 7/6 and/or 7/13. But the decision at the time was to not harp on the injury on television nor talk about it at all publicly which is why they never played it up and her name hasn’t been talked about. The idea in play before the Sane-Jax legit injury was to do a career-ending injury angle with her later when it was time for her to leave, which was to set up Asuka against that person at SummerSlam for the title. This is also likely changed since Heyman left, and the person who would have most likely (not confirmed) been put in that spot would be either Flair, who may or may not be back by then, or Baszler, who Vince removed from television. The only thing we know is the person who ended her career was not scheduled to be Jax. While there’s been no talk about it of late, there had been talk that once her contract with WWE was up that she would wrestle one more year in Japan and then retire.

Goodbye Kairi Goodbye Shayna Dave posted:The idea at the time was Baszler would eventually get the title and they did a finish to build for a rematch using the Money in the Bank stip because Baszler was scheduled to win that match. Vince nixed that and went with Asuka.

quote:she doesn’t check his buttons when it comes to women in wrestling  I do wish Dave, and all reporting around wrestling really, would be more explicit when covering lovely practises and ideas. Don't say "doesn't check his buttons", just say "he doesn't want to gently caress her and that's still the primary governing factor in WWE". We all know that's what he's talking about, so serving up the softened version just makes it read, to me, like a push to handwave it because "oh well, that Vince, huh  " Journalists should not be speaking in euphemisms, no matter how light.And in case it's not clear, gently caress Vince McMahon. I despair to think of how many hundreds of quality wrestlers didn't get a chance because they sneezed at the wrong time or didn't have big enough tits.

"Vince doesn't grasp her style" does just fine.

I really don't get the sense Desantis is ever gonna lock down the state or harden restrictions. Things could get nightmarish in Florida and maybe individual wrestlers would start to get scared, but I can't see the state shutting WWE (or AEW) down.
