WWE RAW: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – New title opportunity, rift between top champions (January 25, 2021)

#3 Impressed on WWE RAW - Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss should be involved in more matches on WWE RAW

In the main event of WWE RAW this week, Alexa Bliss once again got an opportunity to lock horns with Asuka. It was good to see Bliss have her moments of dominance inside the ring as she posed a serious threat to the WWE RAW Women’s Champion on multiple occasions. Asuka also deserves credit for an engaging match with Alexa Bliss.

The switch in the Bliss’ character mid-way into the match made the entire exchange all the more exciting. Unlike last week, Asuka was not intimidated enough to give up too soon, which accounted for a good change. On the other hand, Bliss started to look better as time passed and got very close to beating the WWE RAW Women’s Champion once again.

Unfortunately for Bliss, Randy Orton had other plans in store for her. The Viper returned to the ring and delivered a devastating RKO. Bliss sold the move perfectly, allowing Orton to send a big message to ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt ahead of Royal Rumble. Overall, this match worked well in closing the final episode of WWE RAW before Royal Rumble.
