Sure, Alexa Bliss has been really impressive both in NXT and on the main roster. But we didn’t expect her to get a main-event push this soon. And we’re glad that WWE is taking a chance with this young star who’s impressed us every time she’s stepped through the ropes. Today, she pinned the female face that runs the place- Nikki Bella and earned an opportunity to face Becky Lynch for the Women’s Championship.
Knowing Becky’s legitimate wrestling skills, and Bliss’ athletic background, we’re sure this will be an encounter to remember.
