SmackDown is Bliss
That’s right; we finally have a Women’s champion on SmackDown that can cut a promo that doesn’t make me cringe heavily. Becky Lynch as champion never felt right to me, so I’m glad they’ve finally given Alexa the belt even if it’s only for a short while. She is an extremely talented athlete and also cuts really good promos.
The “b*tch that runs the SmackDown Women’s division” came out with a great heel attitude and made Becky look quite weak, in her verbal battles since they started feuding. This week was no exception.
This segment was all about Alexa gaining heat, and it worked a treat. From her celebration complete with pyro to her rolling out of the ring after teasing a fight with the Irish Lasskicker; it was all classic heel behaviour and the crowd lapped it up. The key to a good heel is that you can’t help but love them, and I feel like this about Alexa Bliss.
The feud on this brand is the main rival to Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte over on Raw, and though they aren’t really breaking any records or setting a high bar, they are consistent, and that is very important, if we are to become as invested, as we are over on the flagship show in the women’s division.
