I don't expect any consequences brought his way, but I do expect some type of face-saving measure, or at least an attempt at one. A reminder that this is the same wrestler who somehow has four wellness violations that were turned into two.

Looking forward to the typical reactions this time around, probably amplified because people in wrestling think Randy Orton was born in a manger and should be shielded from all consequences.

I think the best women are on the same level as the best men, but the best women aren't the ones that are placed in top spots. Becky Lynch gets over everything she touches and is used as enhancement talent. Sasha Banks gets consistent reactions despite how she's used and it's clear they have no plans of ever building around her. Naomi is consistently good and is really marketable. I think there's a good place for Carmella as a heat magnet, for Alexa as a gossipy heel, and for Nia Jax as someone who defies labels, even if they aren't the best all-around performers there. But I also think it's important to getting over the women as equals -- something still in progress -- that in title matches, they deliver at the same level as the men more than they don't. The talent is there to pull that off, but they are positioned in a counterproductive way.

It's not just women that get pushes based on looks. They have their ideal woman just as much as they have their ideal man. The real difference is that there are more roles for men to fill, so the men who don't fit that ideal can still have successful runs even if they aren't particularly favored. But the obsession with physical appearance is not limited to women, nor, honestly, is it limited to wrestling promoters. Fans care about it more than they should too, at least if the idea is that opportunities in pro wrestling should be solely based on merit and talent. The same mixed messages are there for men -- drug testing them and banning substances with one hand while not pushing certain guys, regardless of their crowd connection, because they're too short or whatever with the other hand.
