In case you’re keeping score, the six-woman tag match carried a stipulation: If Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair or Becky Lynch turned on their partners during the match, they would lose their spot in the main event triple treat at WrestleMania.

The three managed to barely co-exist and win the match. Immediately afterward, a brawl broke out that resulted in all three women being handcuffed and attacking police officers while cuffed. They damaged police cars, Rousey even “drove” a cop car, and continued to resist arrest past the point where real officers would have Tased the women.

But still, all three women are still in Sunday’s triple threat. There was no comment made about how they had embarrassed themselves and lost a spot at WM. If they had refused a tag during the match, well, that would have been unforgivable.

But kick a cop while handcuffed, eh, we’ll turn a blind eye to that. Come on, that’s just over the top.
