Smackdown Spoilers for 7/7/16

Here's how it works:

Babyfaces can't hit women.

Tweeners shouldn't hit women, usually it's enough to grab them and shake their finger "no no no" while the heel attacks them from behind.

Heels can hit women, but this is usually in poor taste. If it's an important and impactful moment in the story it's ok (Think Jericho hitting Shawn Michaels wife)

Steve Austin is allowed to punch his wife in the face as long as he makes a lot of money for the company and confesses to "Living life pretty fast back then before my come to Jesus meeting."

Jericho punching Shawn's wife is actually an interesting example because it was obviously an accident, but the character is such a dick that he doubles down and acts like he doesn't care. He's a heel who wouldn't hit a woman, but is such a heel that he'd rather act like it's not a big deal than show any compassion.

Reigns spearing Stephanie by accident is the closest they'll get to man-on-woman violence these days. Even though it was comeuppance for interfering with the match, they positioned it where it was clearly unintended, with Steph emphasizing that on the Highlight Reel shortly after.

Though Reigns didn't ever apologize for it.   Hmmm.
