Alexa Bliss made her presence felt in the WWE Women's Tag Team Division this week. Alexa's Playground featured Tamina and Natalya as special guests, which seemed like a strange booking decision. While Natalya tried not to offend Bliss' character, Tamina's domineering persona just couldn't gel properly with the host's eerily playful nature.

Natalya and Tamina recently became the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, and they were scheduled to defend their belts in a rematch with Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

Alexa Bliss appeared during this match, along with her doll, Lilly. Thanks to their presence, a hot pyro shot came from the turnbuckle when Reginald tried to shift the bout in Jax and Baszler's favor. As Reginald backed off in pain, the surreal distraction allowed the champions to retain their titles.

For the second week in a row, Bliss has sabotaged Baszler's chances of winning a match. This time around, she targeted Reginald, which means her actions indirectly affected Jax as well.

All the evidence and circumstances so far indicate that Alexa Bliss's targets are most likely Nia Jax (w/ Reginald) and Shayna Baszler. She could even use them as stepping stones to enter the women's tag team championship scenario alongside Lilly. Yes, a voodoo doll could potentially make history unless WWE takes a grounded approach by letting an actual Superstar portray Lilly.

WWE's track record with supernatural storylines has been very inconsistent in recent memory. Whatever the company has in store for Bliss, let's hope it doesn't enter the zombie-angle territory from WrestleMania Backlash.
