How she still put on the Figure 8 is nuts. Triple H with a torn quad taking the Walls of Jericho nuts. Kenny Omega with diverticulitis continuing to wrestle nuts. Bryan Danielson pretty much every match these days nuts. Pro wrestlers, man. Stevie Richards (when talking about that Mox vs Fenix match, and why the ref has to stop a match): "I'm gonna tell you something about pro wrestlers, and professional athletes in general. We are insane! We will never stop." I mean unless you break your finger of course..right Sin Cara? lol I really don't like to laugh or POKE fun. but damn Sin Cara finger thing in that ADR match still makes me laugh.

In fairness to Sin Cara, most of his moves would have been made much harder having to work with the dislocated finger, and he was in the ring with a man who he had legit heat with and had good reasons not to trust. ADR shooting on him after the match was stopped pretty much proved Sin Cara right. If I was Sin Cara, I would have had the match stopped too.

So, judging by the last few returns from injury that means Charlotte is going to come back jacked as hell. What's Asya doing? They can sign her and try to pass her off as a returning Charlotte.

That's bad news. I hope she has a good recovery.
I wonder who Bianca faces at WrestleMania now?

Despite all the buzz Jade was getting when she came in, I would think something like that would be too soon. Unless she has an amazing showing at the Royal Rumble or something. I know Bianca was only recently moved to Smackdown, but since they've teased the match in the past without delivering, if they don't go with Becky, I'd say have Bianca be Rhea's Mania opponent.

Reading around the net seems the Charlotte contract was the most lucrative for a female in WWE history.

Gonna be interesting when it comes to Becky's contract...she gonna get an even better contract? cause she should IMO and no doubt Becky expects to. Would be interesting if they low balled her in comparison though with a lesser contract compared to what Charlotte apparenrtly got.

Charlotte signs new deal with WWE. Ain't going nowhere. Considering the fact that her father is in AEW, I was dreading the possibility of TK bringing her in and having her run roughshod over the entire women's division. Thank heavens that's not gonna happen now.

Thank heavens that's not gonna happen now. I figured it wouldn't since reports going around were Andrade wanted to go work in the same place as his wife. If her leaving WWE was even a possibility, I doubted that kind of thing would have even be mentioned.

I'm curious what "most lucrative female contract in company history" actually means. Like where does it stack up against the men. I wouldn't expect it to be near Roman or Cody but you would hope it's near the level of what Drew or AJ makes.

I wouldn't expect it to be near Roman or Cody but you would hope it's near the level of what Drew or AJ makes. I’m going to make a bold assumption that the fact that nobody has a number like they seem to do with Becky with her $1m a year deal, it’s likely more along the lines of $1.5m or something like that. Like, if it was anything higher, someone would have said something by now, right? Especially if people internally are going to hype it as such.

Just to add to my point earlier, I feel like this adds to the idea that everyone on that roster is underpaid as all hell.
Roman Reigns, allegedly, is paid $5m a year. There are bench players in the NBA being paid that amount. And if Charlotte is the highest paid woman on the roster, more than Becky Lynch’s alleged $1m wage, that’s how much a lower draft pick gets and about $9m less than what Victor Wembanyama is being paid for his first year on the Spurs.
Considering how much WWE has made in profits the last decade, that’s absolutely ludicrous.

Glad she's got that bag, and yes, hope it means the purse strings are opened wider for others.
Sounds like she actually re-signed a little while back, but the nature of this current injury does show yet again how much athletes need to make as much cash as they can as quickly as possible.
Pro wrestling allows more latitude for working around injuries, but still, you're only one bad one away from a career ender.

Good for Charlotte and I hope it's a sign their top stars will be paid closer to their worth.
However it seems kind of crazy for a 37 year old that's done it all twice while not as popular as some of her contemporaries to be the top paid (other than as thankyou). I can see Becky and Bayley in other roles if they can't go anymore and could have jobs for life but struggle to see Charlotte doing the same. You wonder what Rhea will get when the time comes.
