Women's wrestling may have changed over the past few years, but WWE's rules governing male on female violence haven't. Perhaps that's why they abolished tentative plans to promote a Dean Ambrose vs. Nia Jax match on house shows in February 2019. We're guessing, because they didn't exactly give a detailed explanation.

Graphics that had popped up on social media suddenly disappeared, and all talk of the intergender bout stopped.

Now Ambrose is out of the company and Jax is on the shelf recovering from knee surgery, the whole storyline has become a curious Easter egg in WWE history. It's not something the promotion are going to openly discuss even a few short months on, and they might never return to the thought of man vs. woman.

At the same time, WWE haven't deleted footage of Nia attacking Ambrose from their official YouTube channel. This suggests that they're hardly ashamed that it happened, but they'd probs rather people just wrote it off as a short-lived sidebar.
