Let's review shall we?
- Lily terrorizes Shayna Baszlor. Shayna breaks a mirrow and screams as the lights go out to end RAW
- The following RAW Shayna is fine and is billed to fight Alexa at HIAC. Nia chooses to fight Alexa that night.
- The result is a DQ where Alexa... hypnotizes Reginald to mimic her movements and put her under her control somehow
- Hell in a Cell rolls around and Shayna is scared of Alexa and worried to do anything before a distraction by Reginald allows her to get shit in. Ends when Alexa hypnotizes Nia this time and forces Nia... through her magic... to slap Reginald. She then proceeds to murk Shayna and get the win.
I'm not saying Aleza is the worst thing on the program because I don't think we're there et (Plus we had a thread for that two weeks ago...) but the more I watch this shit the more I really have to wonder how WWE expects to do this stuff in front of a live crowd and expect results.
Bray Wyatt could pull stuff like this off... there are certain types of wrestlers and performers who can... Alexa Bliss currently hypnotizing people to attack other people? ... Have to wonder how that would go over in an arena full of fans and not the Thunderdome where they control the narrative.
Speaking of Wyatt it's kind of wild that currently this is his lasting legacy since he has been MIA since Mania... which I'm sure isn't helping the optics of this either... it's like Alexa's just doing a bootleg Funhouse with her own stuff with zero pushback as Bray is... once again vanished... so yeah... overall... just something to monitor with the Thunderdome Era coming to an end. You might be able to do this stuff there... but with full crowds? ...Well we'll see!

She’s the worst thing in the E at the moment. Simply terrible.

Alexa's offense wasn't it tonight lol. If she's gonna be supernatural her matches should be a lot more smoke and mirrors goofery than "she wrestles the exact same as before but with one added spooky double jointed taunt spot and she smiles and laughs at attacks oh and she can hypnotize people that...aren't in the match?"
"bootleg Funhouse" really hits the nail on the head of how this is feeling for me.

A lot of the match/her offense came off as laughable, lame theater shit. Just hokey. On top of the supernatural shit, looking like a hot topic/Harley Quinn ripoff, just burn the whole gimmick already.

If the do the Shayna-arm-stomp spot and Alexa sells her dislocated-elbow bit, all will be forgiven.

I saw someone on Twitter suggest that Becky Lynch returning and basically burying the shit out of Fiend Alexa would be enjoyable. Not sure if I necessarily agree, but it's a thought.

I don’t agree. “Acceptable burials” is a slippery slope, because it’s just a case of “Well, I don’t like this person, so it’s OK for THEM to get bad booking” and completely ignoring any fans they might have.

Bray Wyatt was the best thing in the company up until he got burned by Orton.
Since then, the whole gimmick has gone to shit.
Alexa's current character makes me embarrassed to be a fan. I just can't stand overly supernatural stuff in the ring. Even Kane and Taker weren't hypnotising people in the ring. They kept that for the promos and buildup. With The Fiend, he just became a more powerful version of Wyatt. He only no sold moves a few times. He wasn't making people move.
If Alexa has this power, why is she not women's champion? Hell, why is she not WWE Champion?
Its just stupid.
And I'll say this again. Anyone who can't see the problem with her dressing up and acting like a 6 year old and being "crazy hot" about it must be blind.

I agree in so far as it'd give Becky a believable opponent, sorta, albeit in a weird sort of fashion, but the matches would be awful.

I love the stupidity, but it’s clear they have no idea what the direction is. So fxxxing aimless.

I agree Becky needs to come back to foil Alexa's evil scheming. But Becky also needs to do so as a sexy clown.
That is all I am going to give you WWE creative, what you do with it is all up to you.

As I've been saying Bray (supposedly?) not being ready to come back is what kinda messed this entire thing up. Bliss and Bray were clearly supposed to be the story still... with why Bliss/Abigail is mad at The Fiend... but without him around she didn't have a purpose so she's been doing the vague and spooky thing for vague and spooky reasons. also as I said in the Cameo thing elsewhere online Bliss in this gimmick seems super popular with people... so they sure as hell aren't going to leave her off shows.

What is going on with Bray tho? He essentially has had like 5 matches in 8 months and 4 of those came in Oct-Dec

It was speculated that Brodie's death hit him hard.

It was speculated that Brodie's death hit him hard. Yeah, him and Keith Lee have just been absent and it is really weird when RAW could use them both Tho Lee may be from COVID and Bray I assumed it could been Brodie but also thought he could been injured again as this isn't the first time he has taken off for months

Alexa has since been using his aesthetic, music, and "Powers". If Bray was hurt you could easily mask it hell you could film Funhouse segments from his location to limit travel if that was an issue... Bray's just not here and it's baffling. No clue if the Brodie stuff is true but it's not hard to see even by Bray's own statements on the subject how much it hurt him. I just hope he's ok in general... because this feud just sticks out to me in terms of an injury at the very least keeping it around and keeping Bray around and he just isn't which leads me to believe something else is up.

Yeah, if it was a minor or even a semi major injury (one that didn't require like a cast or surgery) Bray could still be doing funhouse things aimed at Alexa and the two sniping back and forth with supernatural bullshittery... I mean they were never going to have Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt have an ACTUAL match. and Bray still needing time off is the only real way that him losing at Mania makes any kind of sense... since if he was going to stay around like originally reported him beating Orton and then having Bliss do the death stare at him makes more sense...

Ends when Alexa hypnotizes Nia this time and forces Nia... through her magic... to slap Reginald. This was a beautiful spot, loved it! 🖤 I can't wait to see what else she's capable of...
