#2 WWE has been portraying Attitude Era Style segments quite frequently lately

In case you haven't heard, Mandy Rose and Jimmy Uso were involved in a scandalous segment from last night's show. Naomi intervened after a series of suggestive moments.

Nevertheless, I personally enjoyed this segment simply because of how risky it was. Of course, the whole situation itself was quite corny with soap-operatic themes running wild throughout its entirety.

Alexa Bliss was also involved in an adult-oriented segment involving a stagehand accidentally finding her in a state of undress on RAW this week. Mandy Rose was also involved in a similar situation a few weeks ago on a pre-taped episode of SmackDown Live which involved a lot of suggestive undertones as well.

Perhaps the company is experimenting with this theme quite a lot more simply because controversy draws attention and WWE's new way of actually 'listening' to their fans might work on both ends of the spectrum.

It is 2019, and there is way more adult-oriented stuff on TV nowadays. Maybe WWE is leaning back on this element so as to find out how much they can actually get away with it.
