Candice MIchelle was known for having a lot of sexy segment in the Smackdown and Raw. Who can blame that type of casting? If you have a hammer, you use it to hammer things. If you have a sexy woman, you user her to do sexy things. Maybe that's a little sexist (it definitely is), but I'm only talking in terms of the WWE, which literally had lingerie limbo contests on their shows. It's not the most woke organization, so I'm not judging them on that.
Years ago Candice Michelle had a storyline where she was Vince McMahon's sex slave. You wonder how these things get cleared for TV. I'm pretty sure a ton of kids watch wrestling. Then again, back when I watched it there was a storyline where one wrestler was going to get his penis cut off for dating a Yakuza bosses daughter.
