It doesn't make much sense... from the perspective of Linda McMahon. The chair shot is still featured in the match and even if it is not directly shown on screen, the use of a foreign object could still be portrayed at extreme violence by the groups and individuals who the WWE are currently trying to appease with their toned-down product.
They need to decide where they want to be. Either choose to present a PG rated show and cut all offensive content, including the use or intended use of violence and sex, or revert back to their stance of the late 90's. The middle ground is pleasing no-one as the fans want to see violence and are almost being teased by it's covert presence, while the pressure groups won't be satisfied until it's just headlocks and suplexes.
