#7 SmackDown Women's Championship: Bayley (c) vs. Alexa Bliss

youtube-cover

Thankfully, the 2019 version of this feud isn't the abysmal catastrophe that the 2017 version was. The presence of Nikki Cross has been helpful. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean that this should be a match worth going out of your way to see. We've seen Alexa Bliss in title matches too many times to count. We know what to expect. It's not going to be anything great. Think lots of restholds on a bigger and stronger opponent, making the match psychologically incongruent.

Hopefully, this is just a filler rivalry to explore Alexa Bliss' relationship with Nikki Cross. With her being a Raw superstar, it's unlikely she wins SmackDown's title, but the "wild card" mess leaves everything in the air. We don't need to see another Alexa Bliss title reign. Bayley still has some mileage left in hers and shouldn't lose it at this juncture.
