How quickly would the WWE lose their sponsors if that happened?

What they shouldn't do is book themselves into a corner where the hero hitting a woman is the thing that almost everyone watching both expects and desires.

Nobody is going to give Stephanie McMahon a Stone Cold Stunner Superman Punch in the year 2015. It all depends on how they pay this off if VKM actually shows up.

In that case though, why put Roman in that situation? Why have Stephanie physically confront him if he isn't able to do something back. I'm not talking about him punching her or slapping her back or anything, but a verbal retort, something to take the wind out of her sails or show her up and keep Roman's momentum going instead of grinding to a halt up against somebody he isn't allowed to talk back to or otherwise get over. This guy is supposed to THE top guy.

He should have punched her in the loving jaw and powerbombed her TO HELL

I know we don't do intergender violence anymore but they could have booked him to catch her hand and be like "stop before you actually make me mad" or some form of defense other than just getting visibly rocked, you know like a person with any form of backbone would do in reality

Do people honestly not realize that Vince is going to come out and talk about how cool and strong Roman is? Hell, he'll probably give him another Title match at the Rumble while Steph screeches obnoxiously in the background.

Roman has always been the guy who can be punched and ain't care so a slap is not a punch and is lesser than.

Well every time he goes for witty it doesn't work so the best case scenario is him standing tall and uncowed. If they make him look like a chump at the end of the show I will agree that it is bad.

I'm also watching raw with an Actual Woman IRL and she thinks all the talk of emasculation is silly.

That would've worked perfectly, a quick grab of her wrist, deadlock stare, and "do you really wanna end up sharing a room with your husband?"
