#3 Was Alexa Bliss genuinely annoyed after her match?

Alexa Bliss planted Bayley into the mat with her trademark DDT to pick up the win on WWE Raw. Following the match, she demanded that the referee raise her hand on two occasions before she kept a stern look on her face as she made her way up the ramp.

That might have been due to her heel persona, of course, but it also looked as though “Little Miss Bliss” was genuinely annoyed about something as soon as the match ended.

There was a spot in the corner where it looked like she was about to attempt an athletic move but Bayley grabbed the rope and went for a pinfall instead. Bliss has been practising more athletic moves at the Performance Center, presumably with a view to showcasing them on television, but her move set in this match was nothing that we haven’t seen before.

Looking back, it does seem as though Bliss was trying to hit an acrobatic sunset flip but they somehow botched it and Bayley turned the move into a pinfall. That could also explain why “The Hugger” – one of WWE’s main female babyfaces – improvised and bizarrely showed heel tendencies by grabbing the ropes.
