Little Miss Bliss is too good on the mic to keep off of Raw even when injured.

Alexa Bliss is such a good character on Raw. Her title reign defined the earlier parts of 2018 and was one of the main storylines going into Wrestlemania 34. She would lose the belt to former friend Nia Jax at the event, but would win the second-ever women's Money in the Bank match.

On the same night she won the briefcase, she cashed it in during a title match between Jax and challenger Ronda Rousey. With her regaining the Raw Women's title, it set in motion the immediate feud between Jax and Bliss once again.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Bliss retained her belt over Jax but Rousey was looming in the background. Rousey was suspended for 30 days after attacking Bliss on Raw, but she was rewarded with a title match vs. Bliss at Summerslam.

While it was a foregone conclusion that Rousey would win, Bliss was still an integral part of the women's division. She was so high up in the Raw women's hierarchy that she was slated to face Trish Stratus and later Stratus and Lita in a tag match at Evolution.

Unfortunately, she was unable to compete due to concussion issues. The match wasn't nearly as hyped without the Goddess of WWE in the match. Since she was still being protected due to concussion issues, Bliss then took on the captain role of the women's Raw Team for Survivor Series.

She manipulated Bayley and Sasha Banks with a potential team spot only to give it to Ruby Riott and Natalya. It was a great heel move. Unfortunately for Bliss, Riott and Natalya couldn't be within five feet of each other without ripping each others' heads off.

And thus, she was forced to go back to the two she bamboozled in Bayley and Banks. The two only accepted the spots for Team Raw and not for Bliss or Jax or the other heels.

Since she's still dealing with concussion issues, or WWE's reluctance to put her back in the fold, rumors have suggested that she might be the next Raw GM if Baron Corbin loses at TLC.

It would certainly be a good role for Bliss. Corbin's time as interim GM has been a mess and he's in need of new ring attire. Seeing her interact with all of the Raw wrestlers would be interesting.

Here's hoping she can return to the ring soon.
