Forbes Critical Of Divas Crying After Matches, Post-Royal Rumble SmackDown, WWE Shop, WWE In France

- Alfred Konuwa has an article at Forbes looking at last Wednesday's NXT: Takeover special. They noted that women crying and hugging after matches is becoming "redundant if not demeaning."

"The absence of tears following a strong women's match will suggest that they expected nothing less than to tear the house down," Konuwa wrote. "It also allows fans to stay involved in the storyline, which thrives the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. The NXT women's division needs to get back to basics, and use the aforementioned Paige-Emma match as an example. At the end, Paige?the victor?was elated. Emma, who lost, was clearly disappointed even as Paige gave her a sportsmanlike hug. They had a great match without over-celebrating their accomplishment immediately after... Just like the guys do."
