Turn. Alexa. Face. You. Cowards. She’s going on her fourth year as a mean girl heel. It’s gettin stale, and putting her out there in the same poorly written talk show segments she’s had since 2017 while her future is still up in the air isn’t doing her any favors whatsoever. Exactly, turn her face. She's done everything she could as a heel, and the fans want to cheer her. Just freaking do it. Stop having her being the alpha bitch, WWE, it's stale.

Is there even any woman in the raw division that can cut a promo besides Bayley and Alicia for those segments? Alexa is fine in the mic but talk shows you need to have a certain set of skills. Bayley can cut a promo?

The problem is she's very good at being a heel and easily hateable. I think we might have to wait until after the draft for her to go face anyway Raw already has Rousey, Moon, Bayley & Sasha as faces. Also maybe she might want to start wrestling again before he ask for this too hardly.

They could always turn one of those four heel to balance a potential Alexa face turn (Personally, I’d have Sasha go heel, she’s kinda bland as a face).

I liked the idea someone else had of Bayley and Sasha both turning heel. I didn't want to see Bayley on her own as a heel, but with a heel Sasha to play off I think it'd be interesting.

Please if you do turn her face, just give me a reason for it and not just 'all of a sudden loves the fans and hates the heels'.

I find Alexa really hot, but I feel like I can already tell what she'll look like when she gets old, if that makes any sense

Have her admit she was wrong to treat Nia the way that she did, open up about her own body image issues and then have the Riott Squad attack her and put her on the shelf for the heatz.

Bayley can cut a promo? That's news to me. LOL I mean, she's not terrible, but I wouldn't say she is top level.

Every single one has been, at best, bad. They're badly written, poorly performed and make everyone look terrible. Just stop it. Here's the thing-- and I learned this my first day at UF's Scriptwriting course from a dude that has tons of Hollywood script pass/fail cred. Everything means more and has much more weight behind it, dialogue wise, if a Beautiful Lady says/believes it to be true. Thus, Alexa Bliss promos on RAW is like a Miz TV segment, always must-see even if the promo fails. Alexa has that much pull in demonstrably high-target market demongraphics that whatever she says in a Women's segment is pretty powerful for the brand as a whole. Just the nature of the dialogue-driven business, it's the same with soap opera scripts in this regard, one promo in a new direction can push a slate of new Superstars or conversely bury a number of Superstars however the pendulum swings. But yeah WWE is trying to harness a CM Punk-like energy behind Alexa that doesn't exist. Like John Rappaport in "Beautiful Girls" says, 'A Beautiful Girl is all-powerful' but only in respects of affecting nostalgia in guys. Alexa dictating the new wrestling world order rings obviously false and it shows in her promos. I'd like this post a thousand times if I could for the "Beautiful Girls" reference.

Shes a natural heel so turning her face would be a disaster, she would be all smiles and cute and boring.

When I saw Lexi Kaufman talking to another survivor of an eating disorder I didn't see a heel. I saw a real person who was connecting to a fan over something very personal. Why can't Alexa Bliss do that?

If Carmella (who I like, but Alexa's better in every way) can turn face and do great in the role, I don't see why Alexa can't. She's been a good heel, but everyone knows she's like the nicest person ever IRL and she has a story that can really resonate with fans (especially young girls). I saw a video once where a parent asked their little daughter why they liked Alexa and she said, "Because she's small and tough like me."

I mean she does in fact have the alter ego ala Tommy February6/Tommy Heavenly6 for both face and heel personas. Her Sparkle Splash face persona on NXT was of a classic Disney Princess come to life in ring. And I swear I could SEE the sparkles throughout her offense as a Beautiful Girl

Alexa is fine in the mic but talk shows you need to have a certain set of skills. But Liam Neeson already flat-out refused to be on Raw, remember?
