Well, I'm sure they would if they built to it more; if they had Nia as Alexa's muscle for a while. But, yeah, it's weird how the simmering Bayley/Banks encore was shoved aside once Alexa joined RAW. I don't really mind. I prefer Bliss to either of them but it does feel like someone changed their mind and we haven't officially heard about it yet. There was a time when you could argue that with those poor finishes (like Fastlane) they were building a subtle angle of Sasha wanting Bayley to be champion because she didn't see her as a threat, but then it all got thrown out anyway. WWE, people. That would have been good. I think it's too early to say that the women's revolution has taken a step back. With how titles are swapped around, it's possible that this is a stopgap with Banks/Bayley still the plan for Summerslam.

Alexa doesn't represent the eye-candy era in any way. She's a pure wrestler with great looks and mic skills. I don't hear her saying she's better than Bayley because she's more attractive. THAT would be a Divas era move.

Alexa is pretty much getting AJ Lee's booking during her first title reign and has a lot of the same mannerisms and is doing the often-repeated storyline where the entire women's locker room (rightly) hates the champion. I can see why the dislike is building. My only surprise is that they didn't build to Bliss vs Jax more. The match last night was brutal. And the crowd didn't give a crap about it either, which should be an issue when its the product of sacrificing a division just to put Alexa front and centre. I would say Charlotte's booking was more similar to AJ's. AJ constantly was getting ragdolled and beaten up on TV, but would win when the title was on the line at PPV. Kinda like how Charlotte would constantly lose on TV, but win on PPV. AJ certainly never had such a one-sided feud as Alexa has had with both Becky/Bayley.

I get Alexa's feuds with Becky and Bayley derailed them a bit, but she's not THAT bad to say the Division went back to the 'old times'. She's a passable worker who can give an ok match. Her strengths are her mic work and character work. I think those skills can justify her being champion just as much as Sasha/Bayley's wrestling skills do (cause they both struggle to form a passable promo and in some cases simple words.)

Like I could buy into Charlotte being so dominant over most women on the roster because outside of Nia Jax and Asuka she's practically the most physically imposing chick in the WWE. Plus she also has the whole daughter of Ric Flair to further market as well. Alexa Bliss is like 5 foot nothing and I could buy into her acting like weaselly Christian like heel of outsmarting their opponents or cheating without getting caught but she often just straight up dominates to win.
It's weird how they made her more dominant than Charlotte. Like it seemed like every Raw Charlotte would eat the pin from Bayley or lose in a non title match often due to shenanigans but still. Bayley on the other hand hasn't one upped Alexa in anything. In a promo, in a tag match, in a segment, match, anything. Like at least DB had a few retorts on the mic when there was a period where 7 Raw and Smackdowns in a row ended with DB getting his ass kicked by The Authority and The Shield.

That's more or less how she was beating Becky and Becky did come away from their segments on top... but... yeah the entire Bayley feud has made no damned sense... other than they have no idea how to write Bayley's character.

At least HHH during his "Reign Of Terror" looked foolish/weak during his feuds

THAT would be a Divas era move. Well, she did say she was better because she's kissed boys, which may be even worse. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) And I should add, this isn't anything against Alexa, I think she's good on the mic, can work in the ring with the right opponents, and has something to contribute to the division, but the booking's been so odd that its alienating even if you like her.

They just need to revisit her NXT work and write her character similar to that. Simple.

R-Truth and Xavier Woods are under contract. I'm just saying all the pieces are there for a Team Pacman reunion with Alexa as the new Pacman.

THAT would be a Divas era move. Well she does seem to have at least one third of her ass showing at all times, that is one way she represents that era.

Besides even this era needs fanservice.

It's also not like Bliss is the only one with the booty shorts styled gear.
Charlotte and Sasha wear really similarly cut stuff...
the only horsewoman that wore more traditional gear IS Bayley...
and of course Nikki Bella whose ring gear seemed to shrink every time she appeared.

I don't think it was so much her ring gear was shrinking but her ass was getting bigger. Like Nikki Bella says she eats a total of 3000-4000 calories a day and does heavy weight training with John Cena. Like she was getting a lot more noticeable thicker in terms of muscle mass and broad shouldered just towering over Brie. Like Nikki defientatly squats and deadlifts and front squats and sumo deadlifts.

More trying to make the point that the eye candy era is still kinda prevalent in the WWE womens division. Its not really happening in the mens division apart from those times i can see Finns cheeks. But anyway thats another topic
