Yeah, yeah, yeah (I was told that) because I was pitching. Well, the secretary told me. I was pitching all kinds of story lines, like a six-man tag or a match for me where Sindhusher dominated me and I asked the writer, and I said, ‘What’s the deal?’, I also know this because I saw the roster sheet . . .: Men’s Clothes, Raw, SmackDown Men’s Clothes, Tag Team. My name was not written on men’s waists. The men’s heel tag teams, Sindhu Sher, and I were in the brackets. Thus, as a managerial role,.
