WWE Superstars weren't happy when Brock Lesnar was exempted from the wellness policy rule, for which Roman Reigns and others were punished.

#4 Taynara Conti was told by WWE to not use a certain word on TV

Taynara Conti was released by WWE in April, as a part of budget cuts amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. She sat down with Ring The Belle soon after, and opened up on her time with WWE. While she was on NXT, Conti used a catchphrase that she yelled at her opponents during matches.

Her catchphrase "Are you crazy?" soon became a thing of the past when WWE told her that she couldn't use the word 'crazy' anymore. Conti recalled how she explained to WWE that it was a part of her character, but to no avail.

“I always tried to put that in my matches, like I need to find a moment to do it. One day, I had a match on TV. Someone from WWE told me, ‘Hey, Tay, we cannot say ‘crazy’ on TV anymore.’ I was like, ‘Oh no, that’s kind of my thing now.’ They were like, ‘Yeah, sorry, don’t say it.’”

WWE had included the word in its list of banned terms, and thus Conti was told to not utter it on TV again. She later began using the "Latinas do it better” catchphrase.

After three years in NXT, she was let go by WWE, and went on to appear in the AEW Women's Tag Team Cup tournament. Conti was recently invited by The Dark Order to join the stable.
