I don't think people really care about WWE enough to really focus on it, but there are some nasty little opinion pieces ready to be written about the WWE's idea of gender equality, and how they are graded in terms of fiscal value despite being presented as big a stars -- and that presentation becomes perception, which is fair enough for reality to people trying to make a case. In many ways, it could be a slippery-slope to be presenting all your women as major stars, because at some point it's only reasonable they start asking for major star money, even if they're not really the major stars.

women don't deserve equal pay. Theyre a side show at best. When theyre merch sales make up for half the top 10 we can talk.
