A truly bizarre obsession with heaping sympathy on men because of those bloody women in 2019 came after WWE hadn't ever been so empowering - was this little more than a petty response to the rise of 'The Man' and the inarguable brilliance of women's wrestling elsewhere?
In Mandy Rose, Maria and Lana, the fanbase were give three females to despise based entirely on their sensationalised and sexualised relationships (or lack thereof) with male superstars.
Rose was sent to seduce Jimmy Uso under Naomi's nose, Maria abused her husband and questioned if he was even the father of their unborn child whilst Lana...well, you watch Raw in spite of yourself too, Lana's a f*cking b*tch isn't she lads? Eh? Isn't she?
