Center
Primary
WWE Superstars is primarily an entertainment product focused on staged athletic competition and character-driven narratives, rather than promoting any specific political ideology. Its themes of individual triumph and good versus evil are presented within an apolitical sports entertainment context.
WWE Superstars showcases a visibly diverse cast of athletes, reflecting the global nature of professional wrestling. The program's narrative primarily centers on competition and character-driven rivalries, rather than explicitly critiquing or promoting specific identity themes.
Secondary
As a professional wrestling program, WWE Superstars features female wrestlers who frequently engage in physical confrontations with male opponents. These interactions often result in female characters using their wrestling skills and strength to overpower and incapacitate male characters in direct combat.
WWE Superstars, a professional wrestling program, did not incorporate any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or storylines during its run. The show's narrative was centered on athletic competition and traditional wrestling rivalries, resulting in no discernible portrayal of queer identities or themes.
WWE Superstars is a wrestling program featuring established male and female performers. There are no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender within the show.
WWE Superstars is a professional wrestling show featuring real-life athletes portraying their own personas. It does not adapt pre-existing fictional characters from other media, nor does it recast established characters with actors of a different race. Therefore, the concept of a 'race swap' does not apply.
