Thing is, Alexa Bliss is about 5 ft. tall and doesn't look like she could break an egg. It's a bit silly to think she would have any hope against someone like Nia Jax in a real life scenario. The whole thing seems like a market correction for the Raw women. It's like Vince and maybe Dunn thought this stuff was being pushed way too hard last year (which it was actually) and just wanted a non threat like Alexa with the belt. She's hot, she's a mean girl, but she isn't really anything great and not a threat to the status quo.

Alexa's never going to be a risk of having a main-event. The other part that irks me is that for all this momentum-killing, Alexa doesn't even really benefit from it that much, in terms of crowd response. Even now she often gives promos to complete silence or WHAT? chants. At least Charlotte was consistently getting heel responses during her run on Raw.

It's almost as if they favor some girls for their looks...

She's like a pocket Nikki Bella
Although her cry baby taunt is really the only reason I say that.

It's almost as if they favor some girls for their looks... You realize wrestling is a heavy visual medium industry and almost every top guy in the history of wrestling got a push or hired in largely due to their look or bodytype that they used to get over with the crowd in the first place? Hell it's not even just top guys, like James Ellsworth was hired exclusively because of his look being the antithesis of a wrestler which got him over as a meme with the crowd. Like saying some wrestlers are only getting pushed because of there look is the same thing as this wrestler is only getting pushed because of their mic skills/wrestling skills.

They really have no idea how to book faces.

I'm pretty sick of it, I'm not gonna lie. She did it to Becky Lynch over on Smackdown (who still hasn't fully recovered) and she just did it to Bayley on Raw. Like, I understand WWE is high on the girl and I can understand why but holy shit, they are ruining everybody else in the division (which is also razor thin on both brands) for the sake of putting her over. It's so obnoxious. Cough cough, Naomi, cough cough. And that was only a few months back, so let's not act like Alexa is an all-woman destroyer for the longest of times. Naomi killed Alexa EVERY SINGLE TIME they matched up. Beat her leading up to the title. Beat her for the title. Beat her when she was chasing the title. And immediately beat her when she returned from injury.

Its always a lose-lose situation. Whenever there's 50/50 booking people complain, whenever someone goes over strong there's issues too. Though I get the "Bayley got buried" argument and she probably should have looked a little better in defeat, I think the right move was made keeping the belt on Alexa. It's not like Bayley was tearing up the main roster before Alexa anyways... (Honestly I don't even remember the Becky feud aside from Alexa's arm going all sideways). It's gonna be interesting to see how they play the Jax/Alexa feud. Alexa can't possibly dominate that... and neither of them are exactly good in the ring. It's very likely to be a trainwreck where everyone looks awful coming out of it. It gives Bayley and Sasha a little time to rebuild themselves while the title picture crashes and burns.

The issue here is that logical booking would indicate that Bayley get the win last night after taking beating after beating, as well as that ridiculous 'This is your life' segment last week. Instead, she loses and looks like a total ass in the process. Bliss, meanwhile, beat a girl that she constantly called a loser. So yeah, nobody came out of last night looking good

The only thing Im gonna say is I don't really think Alexa killed Byaley's Momentum. I think she's been dead since feuding with Charlotte to be frank. Im not saying the Bliss Booking helped, but even Bayley's Mania Moment to be was weak shit... she just hasn't been good since being called up.

It's so obnoxious. Preach. I don't see why they are so high on her though, as I don't see anything in her. IMO she isn't any good in the ring, nor on the mic. She's just extremely overpushed. Her dominating everything and everyone is obnoxious and like you said destroying everyone else in the division just to build her up is not only annoying but incredibly stupid. I'm really at a point where I skip her segments because I'm just sick of her and how she's booked.

It's like they said f*** it we don't need Charlotte to give someone else this mega push. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with Alexa but after they just gave Charlotte this long ass reign I was looking forward to a babyface getting some time to shine. Babyface side is pretty thin so who is she going to feud with next. Sasha more than likely but I don't have high hopes for this feud. I guess what's irking people and you can chalk it up to her being a good enough heel is that she's allowed to tear down her competition but nothing comes against her. Alexa continues to improve her all around game but her feuds still aren't compelling I'm guessing the intention is to set up a self doubt thing for Bayley while moving the belt to Sasha, with the goal of doing a rematch in Brooklyn where Bayley gets the belt back and the groundwork's laid to finally turn Sasha heel at last and the Alexa thing is mostly just filler getting there but... I hate dragging shit out for SummerSlam or Mania solely for the sake of it to begin with, much less if you're going to drag it out with stuff this stupid. Man, I watched Bayley vs. Alexa match last night, and as someone who's been predicting Bayley vs. Sasha at Brooklyn II for months now, the furthest thing from my mind is seeing Sasha/Bayley in essentially a main event level match at the second biggest show of the year. That's a performance fit for someone who'd be lucky to make the Kick Off Show.

I love Alexa as a character, but yeah, she's hella overbooked right now. It doesn't help that Charlotte put on way better matches as the top heel.

Neville's made an entire division of guys look like they aren't trying hard enough since his return, mainly with his promo and character work, so like I'm not sure how he isn't an example.

Sasha is really the only one left and she's stuck in limbo right now
As much as I like Bliss, I don't want to sit through another "Reign Of Terror"
