WWE RAW Preview: Big changes in world title picture, Alexa Bliss’ next feud, former champion to betray best friend? (May 17th, 2021)

#2 Alexa Bliss kickstarts a new feud on WWE RAW

Alexa Bliss has her eyes on one WWE RAW Superstar

On the final episode of WWE RAW before WrestleMania Backlash, Asuka teamed up with Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke to take on Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, and Shayna Baszler. Interestingly, Alexa Bliss made her presence known during the match and suggested that she has an eye on one particular superstar who was inside the ring. It appears that Bliss was possibly hinting towards a feud with Asuka.

Both superstars were briefly engaged in an altercation earlier this year. Bliss also managed to pin Asuka, which led many into believing she could challenge The Empress of Tomorrow for the WWE RAW Women’s Championship. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and Asuka would eventually lose her gold to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania. Following that, she was engaged in a title feud with Ripley and Charlotte Flair.

Now that Asuka has lost her title rematch, she is free to turn her attention towards other rivalries on WWE RAW. She would like to settle the score with Bliss, but it won’t be an easy task. The feud will work wonders in establishing Alexa Bliss as the top heel on the Red brand, and we can see the beginning of this storyline as early as tonight.
