5 Mistakes WWE Must Avoid With 'Injured' Alexa Bliss

It's no secret that the only woman to hold both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Titles -- "The Goddess of WWE" Alexa Bliss -- is currently dealing with injury issues.

In fact, Bliss has missed out on a great amount of in-ring action ever since she allegedly suffered a concussion in a match where she's teamed up with Mickie James against Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey.

Bliss briefly returned to in-ring action a few days back, but after competing in a multi-woman tag team match where she didn't really take any notable bumps, Little Miss Bliss hasn't wrestled since. After the November 5th, 2018 episode of Monday Night RAW, the professional wrestling community was set abuzz by the news -- as noted on the Wrestling Observer Radio -- that Bliss is yet to receive medical clearance after her concussion issues.

Besides, on the aforementioned episode of RAW this week, Bliss confirmed that she will captain Team RAW for the Women's 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Match. However, it was also indicated that despite being the team's captain, Bliss herself won't be wrestling in the matchup.

With injuries to several top Superstars such as Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Triple H, as well as Roman Reigns stepping away from the ring due to his unfortunate leukemia diagnosis; the absence of Bliss from WWE's Monday night flagship show would be a huge loss for the company.

Considering that, the WWE has been smart enough to keep Bliss on-screen week in and week out despite her not wrestling! That, in turn, shows how important Five Feet Of Fury truly is in WWE right now...Today, we look at a few huge mistakes the WWE must avoid while booking an injured Alexa Bliss in its storylines...

#5 Having Alexa Bliss act as a valet for pointless multi-woman tag team matches

WWE can use Alexa Bliss in other roles, better than simply wasting her as a valet for multi-woman tag team matches

I recently met an old friend of mine who just so happens to be a huge pro-wrestling fan. It was around that time, the WWE's Evolution PPV took place, and while most fans loved the event, the majority of the WWE Universe, my friend included, complained about the seemingly pointless multi-woman tag team matches that get thrown at us for no reason!

The WWE must avoid using Alexa Bliss as a ringside manager/valet for pointless tag team matches such as the one at Evolution, when Bliss was ringside for her friends Mickie James and Alicia Fox, as James and Fox lost their tag team match to Trish Stratus and Lita...

#4 Presenting Alexa Bliss as Baron Corbin's assistant on RAW

Alexa Bliss shouldn't be presented as Baron Corbin's sidekick

Firstly, I'd like to clarify that I have nothing against Baron Corbin. In fact, I think he's been on point with most of his promos as the villainous Acting General Manager of Monday Night RAW.

However, on this week's episode of RAW, we saw Alexa Bliss come down to the ring in a corporate look -- which, I must admit, Bliss pulled off with perfection -- cutting an excellent promo regarding Survivor Series and having a jovial conversation with Corbin as well. Well, that's where the WWE could end up making a huge mistake with Bliss.

The WWE should either make Corbin the permanent GM of RAW or just go ahead and appoint Bliss as the GM! Let's face it, Bliss is way better than Corbin on the mic, and rather than having her act as a sidekick or assistant to The Lone Wolf, the WWE would be better off with The Goddess as the General Manager of RAW...(just like AJ Lee was a few years back!)...

#3 Rushing Alexa Bliss' in-ring comeback

WWE shouldn't rush Alexa Bliss' return to in-ring competition

Alexis Kaufman is widely regarded as one of the sweetest, most polite individuals backstage in the WWE, whereas the on-screen character that the 27-year-old woman plays on TV -- Alexa Bliss -- is undoubtedly one of the most wicked WWE Superstars of this era!

Honestly speaking, the professional wrestling community is divided in its opinion regarding Bliss -- as her supporters note how great she is in the promo department, whereas her detractors claim that she lacks actual wrestling skills. Regardless of whether you love or hate her, you simply cannot deny the fact that The Wicked Witch is indeed one of RAW's most valuable Superstars today.

With that in mind, the WWE would be making a huge error if they rush Bliss' in-ring comeback. The company's best bet right now is to have Bliss continue in a non-wrestling role until she has made a full recovery...

#2 Cutting down Alexa Bliss' promo time

Alexa Bliss is one of the best talkers in the business today

Ever since Alexa Bliss broke through as a top Superstar in the WWE -- dating back to her SmackDown Live debut in 2016 -- the WWE has intelligently given her a decent amount of airtime, so that The Goddess can work her magic on the microphone.

Frankly speaking, in today's WWE landscape, I believe that only SmackDown Live Superstar Samoa Joe is on Bliss' level when it comes to cutting a passionate promo in front of the millions and millions of sports-entertainment fans. In other words, when Bliss cuts a promo, people listen -- and to this young woman's credit, she expertly manipulates the crowd's emotions every single week!

However, due to her alleged concussion issues, Bliss isn't being allowed to wrestle, and that, in turn, may coerce the WWE to cut down on her promo time. Well, that'd be a mistake, folks...In fact, I believe that the WWE should continue letting Bliss cut promos as an authority figure on RAW -- just like she did this past Monday night when she trashed SmackDown in her fiery promo...

#1 Pitting Alexa Bliss against Stephanie McMahon

Being berated by Stephanie McMahon on RAW would hurt Alexa Bliss' on-screen character

Earlier this year, an incredibly significant, yet relatively unnoticed segment transpired on an episode of Monday Night RAW, when Kevin Owens placed his forearm on RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon's shoulder.

Stephanie glanced at KO with her trademark glare, and proceeded to warn him that he'd be better off never doing that again! Well, the reason I harked back to this segment is that in the days which followed said segment, fans as well as critics noted that Owens' credibility as one of RAW's top heels took a serious hit when he was insulted so very casually and unnecessarily by The Billionaire Princess.

Furthermore, perhaps one of the rare WWE Superstars who can go toe-to-toe with Stephanie McMahon in a battle of auras is Ronda Rousey, apart from obvious names such as John Cena, The Undertaker, Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan and a few others. However, should Alexa Bliss face off with "Steph", Little Miss Bliss would probably end up just like Kevin Owens.

The WWE would be better off having Bliss being in the good graces of McMahon and avoiding booking any potential confrontation between The Goddess and The Billionaire Princess.
