The 10 worst WWE superstars of 2017

#7 Alexa Bliss

Little Miss Bliss has numerous terrible moments to her name in 2017. She's pushed to the moon but doesn't get a pass.

Imagine for a moment that a comic you liked to read suddenly got a new character. There was nothing inherently wrong with this character, but the narrative the comic was telling suddenly began to change as a result.

What started as an enthralling, layered story with an exposition of intriguing characters suddenly began to change and become one-dimensional, with everything revolving around the new character, resulting in numerous confusing plot holes, more than a few terrible volumes, and the subtraction of the traits that made all the other characters that you liked interesting.

This is the Alexa Bliss push in a nutshell. While the dynamic was in place on SmackDown, it accelerated to light speed on RAW. She's had an excellent year personally, but her gain has left the rest of the RAW women's division a ruin.

Alexa's arrival on Monday nights stopped the looming Sasha heel turn in its tracks. She would quickly go on to humiliate Bayley and end her brief run as a well-liked babyface. Alexa would then make Sasha look like a choke artist because, she, for some reason, needed to drop the title for a paltry eight days, would wind up hamstringing Nia Jax's momentum as well, and go on to have a trite feud with Mickie James.

The biggest problem with Alexa Bliss is that her talents have been misapplied in her push. Despite her excellent mic work, she has more than a few terrible segments to her name. The month-old stint of Mickie James being an "old lady" was eye-rolling on night one, and obviously, there was Bayley: This is Your Life. Frankly, very few of Alexa's segments or promos were genuinely entertaining.

Neither were most of Alexa's matches. She's average in the ring, and though she's improved, her offence is unconvincing. Seeing women like Charlotte sell for her for 70% of the match just feels wrong.

Hopefully, Alexa can continue to improve. She has the requisite skill set to be entertaining, but the execution needs to be better. Hopefully, that improved execution will begin with a fresh start for 2018 with Alexa dropping the title and letting Paige and Asuka rebuild the division as the New Year unfolds.
