10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Feb 3)

5. Was Big E.'s Spanking Too Much For PG-TV?

This week's guest question comes from fellow wrestling writer (and self-proclaimed 'King of WTF Moments') Ross Tweddell. Although a big New Day fan, he's wondering if Big E's rhythmic spanking of Dean Ambrose was a step too far. There's no denying the sexual nature of the spot - the hand-licking, the delighted expression upon Big E's face, and Ambrose's startling reluctance to break free. It would have barely have raised an eyebrow during the Attitude Era, but I wouldn't be surprised if this moment prompted a lot of complaints. On the other hand, I'm tempted to disagree. Big E and Ambrose's intimate spot isn't even the most controversial incident of the past few weeks. That award must go to Ric Flair, for planting a forced kiss on a clearly unwilling Becky Lynch. WWE have (perhaps wisely) cut the spot from the WWE Network version of the Royal Rumble. You can find Ross on Twitter by following this link: @RossOnRasslin.
