So, not only are WWE waiving the ban on terms like "belts", they're also seemingly letting performers shoot from the hip more on the mic. That must be why Charlotte Flair used the word "promo" during her, ahem, promo on Becky Lynch this week.

Flair said she's in "every promo Becky has". This adds another touch of behind-the-scenes magic to their feud, and does so without really sacrificing anyone's enjoyment. Bring it on. Saying that, we hope this kind of terminology doesn't become the norm. It's better if it's kept sporadic.
