Where to find it: Raw Talk, March 5th 2017

Renee Young is a gift to WWE and one day, just like every toy he's ever broken or got bored with, Vince McMahon will come to regret never allowing her to shine on platforms designed to bring the best out of his other talent.

Raw Talk (and cult favourite sister broadcast Talking Smack) was this very platform, even if the inclusion of Jerry Lawler instead of Daniel Bryan often got in the way of the show feeling remarkably non-WWE considering the branding splashed all over it.

'The King' let slip a pretty ugly generalisation on this 2017 edition of the show, and letting it slip was precisely the case. Having just bid farewell to babyfaces Sasha Banks and Bayley following a segment where they talked of their unity and support for one another, Lawler opined after a few second's deliberation that "all women secretly despise each other".

Young shot down the statement immediately, but revealed that she possibly had more in the chamber in how she stumbled on her words following up. A rarity for the consistent and consummate professional, but not that surprising in the face of somebody that hasn't particularly espoused those qualities.
