Keven Owens did workout and slim down after an injury. He did it more for his health and well being than for the WWE which in my opinion is a very wise decision. Owens was very proud of what he did accomplish and while others may claim it was not enough, he was injured and rehab and slimed down that is a big accomplishment.

I can't help but wonder if long hair Christian was because he was a member of the Brood where most of the members of that faction had long hair. The short hair came around the time he dawned the "Captain Charisma" nickname, and thought it looked pretty good on him and his new persona.

The Naomi hair bit is what POC (black especially) are talking about when it comes to subtle racist jabs. Her hair wasn't "European enough" and her natural hair wasn't deemed as "pretty"....just not outright said to avoid getting in trouble. It's different than telling Adam Cole "get a haircut" because it doesn't have to do with disliking a natural texture that comes with genes

@parthaprotimbarua603 2 жыл бұрын

If you look for racism everywhere you'll see it. WWE asking for hair cut from Naomi is no different than asking from Adam Cole. They wanted a certain style that would probably work better, it's not because they don't like afro hair style. They don't ask black male wrestler to have straight hair after all. They asked Naomi for one simple reason, most women in the main roster has straight hair.
