1. Because Alexa Bliss is a great heel. 2. Because Lexi Kaufman is an anorexia survivor. WWE loves the inspirational real life cross over stories with the female wrestlers. I think they feel it opens up a new audience for them. If she does press talking about battling her disease while the championship title is prominantly displayed all the better. yeah but by that logic Mike milquetoast Bennett Kanellis should now be the world champion because of that addiction story that WWE ran on him and give Maria the belt too? Can't keep giving belts 2 wrestlers just because they overcame demons They care far less about it with the men than the woman because imo they feel they don't need to tap into a male viewship that doesn't care about the angles and matches but does care about the "real life stories". And they can give the title, any title, to someone in order to try to get good PR because it is a work and WWE can do whatever they want. Not that I'm saying it's a good thing mind you.

Becky is dope tho. When they gonna strap my girl up?
Like damn, lol. Alexa done had her cake and another cake too, to quote the great J. Cole. Let somebody else get some shine. Even Nattie would be aight, if I'm being real.

i'm thinking given the meh build promo wise with rousey/nia they put the title on alexa to handle the heavy lifting on the promos to build the match for rousey's title win. sasha is about the only other one I could see on raw who would also work but she seems to be destined to feud with ember for a bit instead.

I guess the Alexa thing is just to have Rousey crush her at like SS. At least there is sort of a direction there. If they would have just turned Sasha heel instead of whatever this is for the past year it would work better.
I don't even get where this Carmella crap is going though. I mean she has already gone over Charlotte and Asuka. What else can she even do? Just let Becky beat her, crush Ellsworth, and stand tall.

I'm by no means a huge fan of Nia, but her reign was pointless and she looks like a complete goofball coming out of it.

I want Becky to be Becky but when it comes to Ellsworth, she goes full Minoru Suzuki and just chokes him out with a, say, a Dragon Sleeper.

I seriously am wondering if that spot was intended for Nattie and WWE changed their minds at the last minute. Everything leading up to the show seemed like it Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if we get a report that Nattie was supposed to win but Vince changed his mind. They swapped it to serve the smarks. They wanted someone that gets reactions to be the one to win. Etc.

I think some people don't understand how Alexa has been dominating this division. Just read this.
That. Is. Crazy.
That's the same kind of stranglehold Triple H had on the title during The Reign of Terror.

As I've previously mentioned, Alexa does lots of clean jobs on Raw for someone in her spot. Sasha, Ember, Asuka, and Natalya have all beat her clean on Raw in 2018 and weren't even in an angle with her.

Sure, but the people she *is* feuding with get talked down, and then she beats them clean and usually somewhat convincingly

Bayley looked bad against her, but WWE had the damn Riott Squad humiliate Bayley last week. I think the Bayley feud was just as much about their view of her as it was Alexa.

Naomi got a massive boost from beating her twice as well, without Bliss ever really getting the upperhand over her too.

They have no clue on how to book her. Like it was previously stated, her SD booking vs Raw booking are complete opposites.

I think people are missing the point with Alexa when they bring up her TV win-loss record not being that great and her losing several times on TV to Naomi, Ember, Natalya etc.. Yeah it's true she has lost several times on TV but the thing none of it matters because when it's time for the big match that does matter she always wins and is ALWAYS in the title picture. She didn't need to win at all tonight as they could've used tonight to eleveate someone else. However WWE loves her so much that she can't go a month without being champion. I don't even mind Alexa that much and before I got tired of her never ending super push had reached about a year and a half I was actually a fan of her but it's just very tiresome. I know WWE loves her but just because you're really behind someone doesn't mean that person has to be champion for basically two years. I mean for crying out loud she just lost it a month ago and is already champion yet again.

Triple H lost to Benoit and didn't get his comeuppance against him during his Reign of Terror.

Because by the time HHH and Steph take the company we'll need a new Power Couple to fill the first hour of RAW

Triple H lost to Benoit and didn't get his comeuppance against him during his Reign of Terror. Actually, he did. They had a match on Raw in the build up to WM 21 where HHH won with a low blow and Pedigree. It happened one year to the day after the WM 20 match.
