Scarlett Explains Why WWE Didn’t Want Her “Sexy” Wrestling Character

TLDR

Scarlett explained in an interview with D-Von Dudley that she believes WWE didn't fully embrace her character because it conflicted with the company's "Women's Evolution" direction, as her persona was designed as a "throwback" and "parody" meant to "bring sexy back to wrestling." She stated that her character intentionally went against the serious tone other women wrestlers were adopting, with her wanting to revive over-the-top presentation including elements like "bra and panties matches," though she acknowledged this upset some people in the wrestling business.
