The Goddess is an overall performer!
"The Goddess of WWE" Alexa Bliss is a fabulous performer

Alexa Bliss is one of the biggest names in the WWE today, and can cut a promo like no other in the business.

Bliss' work is applauded by both fans and experts alike--as she can make any segment or performer appear to be relevant, with her gift of gab.

If you may recall the time before Wrestlemania 34, when Nia Jax was her best friend, it was in just a matter of moments that Bliss made Jax feel more prominent and relevant--as regards the WWE's storylines--by spewing heelish venom against Jax in Bliss' backstage segment with Mickie James.

In fact, it's no wonder that Jax has been on a roll because of that segment and went on to win the WWE RAW Women's Championship at Wrestlemania 34. After a lull, Jax then became relevant again due to Bliss coming out and interfering in her match with Ronda Rousey at WWE's Money In The Bank PPV earlier this year.

Bliss made a simple and seemingly irrelevant match, become relevant--In fact, Bliss served to provide a much-needed impetus to the feud between Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey as a whole, which started out of nowhere when Jax and Rousey met at a 2018 NBC Universal event.

The ideal way is that a challenger steps up and challenges the champion, whereas it seemed as though Rousey was simply handed an opportunity as Jax had no challenger...Which was never the case, in the stacked RAW Women's Division!

Bliss has saved several notable RAW as well as PPV moments from becoming mundane, and if it weren't for her, the WWE Universe may have had to sit through many a dull moment with generic heels and faces on both WWE Raw as well as pay-per-view programming.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the 4 reasons why Alexa Bliss is the best mic worker, not only in WWE, but all of professional wrestling today--


#4 She validates storylines

Alexa Bliss routinely validates even the most simple storylines

In case you haven't noticed yet, Alexa Bliss doesn't just go through the motions with her character or the simply hold the title up as a prop. What Little Miss Bliss does so very well, is that she validated storylines.

Plain and Simple!

Bliss takes it upon herself to sow the seeds of a feud, rather than needing to be spoon-fed by the WWE creative team. In other words, "The Goddess of WWE" knows how to deliver her promos with a certain amount of swagger that's a prerequisite for any top performer--be it in the sport, entertainment or sports-entertainment realm.

Bliss takes a story to the next level, hyping it up to the moon--so to speak. She makes the storyline her project and owns the dais--through her style of delivering it to the WWE Universe. Bliss' way of storytelling through her promos is so amazing, that while people boo her, they unintentionally always fall in love with the storyline.

#3 Generates heel heat

Alexa Bliss puts forth her statements on the mic in such a manner, that--as evidenced by the thunderous reactions she receives everywhere she goes--pushes the fans' buttons perfectly.

In other words, Bliss knows how to connect with the WWE Universe--be it as a heel masquerading as a babyface--case in point being her post-Elimination Chamber Match interview--or in a stereotypical heel promo.

For instance, Bliss' heel promos week after week on RAW, against notable Superstars such as Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey, hit all the right notes, and draw the desired reaction from both the fans in attendance at the event as well as the millions watching at home.

The fans always seem to be invested in her feuds, and that in turn, is the most important point which solidifies that Bliss is indeed pretty good at what she does.

#2 Great promos

Great Promo Leads to Great Feuds
Great promos help a rivalry reach a crescendo

Have you ever observed Paul Heyman during his promo?

The humble "Advocate" cuts every single promo in a manner that makes sure you are compelled to watch what he has to offer, every time he is on television.

The same applies to Alexa Bliss--given that she cuts amazing promos and no matter who her opponent is, she makes it worthwhile for all. In simple terms, there's a general formula to her promos--so to speak.

Bliss always makes sure that she "goes all the way" when it comes to verbally disparaging her WWE rivals. A rather intriguing aspect of the methodology Bliss uses in her promo segments, is that she seems to accord a great amount of importance to her poise and speed of delivery during every promo.

Now, Bliss is human like the rest of us, and not infallible to mistakes on the mic. Nevertheless, unlike most other modern-day pro-wrestling performers who seem lost after having fumbled a word or two in their promo, Bliss does an excellent job of covering up her mid-promo goof-ups and proceeds to calmly shut down hecklers in the live audience.

Bliss' verbal brilliance on WWE programming, helps improve the overall product--because not only does a good promo add more value to a feud, but also increases the fans' general level of excitement and love for WWE as a whole.

And that, in turn, is "what's best for business"!

#1 Bliss lives her character to the maximum

Love it, Live it
Love it and live it

Alexa Bliss has worked as a babyface and a heel in WWE--excelling at both with ease. Her work is always on point, and Bliss ensures that she lives her character to the fullest, which helps WWE a lot.

Well, to be fair, most of her notable work as a babyface has come in the WWE's Mixed Match Challenge (MMC) alongside her Tag Team partner Braun Strowman--what with the angle of "Team Little Big" being one of the biggest hits with the WWE Universe in recent memory.

Regardless, in her work with Strowman, Bliss showed off yet another wrinkle to her overall sports-entertainment arsenal--that being her ability to seamlessly shift between portraying a cunning heel and acting as a fiery babyface.

If you happen to have met Bliss in person, you'll probably be unable to deny the fact that she's an extremely well-mannered young woman. However, Bliss' acting skills coupled with her unmatched trash-talking abilities, is what makes her such a powerhouse on the microphone in the WWE.

Alexis Kaufman (yes, that's Little Miss Bliss' real name!) has often spoken about drawing inspiration from real-life personalities she's met or observed over the years--applying the notes she takes from them to her on-screen character of "The Goddess of WWE" Alexa Bliss.

Much like professional wrestling legend Ric Flair, Bliss loves her character, and lives it to the maximum; so as to bring fans the meanest and most-entertaining version of Alexa Bliss.
