They were treating them as portrayed characters. Don't pretend they thought it was real. They just thought this would lead somewhere positive.
...Which pretty much everyone and their mother should have looked at, and said..."Wait, what?"

there, it's all spelled out for you now.

And yet, you still couldn't follow a simple question.
Nice retcon, but no cigar.

It's not quite the same, but Vito managed to make the crossdressing gimmick work for him. And he had some nice responses. I don't know (and I doubt) if that was the intent, but still. He didn't suddenly become a mincing little girl, he was a guy who would kick your ass.
In a dress.
Billy and Chuck, likewise, got great responses right up to the wedding and the "swerve."
Of course, a serious intent on a conscious level, beyond say, lower midcard? Probably not.
But then, when you're watching something
this homophobic, it should be no surprise. And that has nothing to do with Cena. Wrestling is so homoerotic it can only be aimed at insecure males.
