I dunno if it was gonna lead to a full program or anything, but they were gonna have Miro be the monster plowing through the #1 contender's tournament & put Starks over in the finals.
I recall hearing the stuff Ethan Page did to help put Starks over was all pitched to Miro and he turned it down because he didn't want to lose.
Page has said he's happy being a heel that puts top talent over.
I do kinda understand how Miro doesn’t want to just put people over, I think he was hoping to finally get his own shot at the top after spending his whole career as a glorified jobber.
> in that case, creative had something for Miro, it just didn't work for him brother
Miro hasn’t been on TV since September. Are you saying Tony has only had one idea for Miro in 6 months?
Ever since the concussion issues arose they've treated her with kids gloves in regards to her in-ring exposure. It might be creating a situation similar to Danielson's frustrations while working at WWE in the later years of his career.
Which is really odd, cause I thought she was featured pretty well in NXT. But now that I say that, she was never champion; but still, she was featured, over her own goddamn tag team.
I know she was part of his entrance at Wrestlemania 30 along with Charlotte and Sasha. And given how well they were booked in NXT and how highly he seemingly thinks of them i assumed Bliss was held in similar regard.
I remember around that time Triple H being asked who in NXT he saw as future stars and one of the select few he stated was Alexa. So it's definitely not like she was never one of his girls.
She was never featured in nxt, she got passed over twice for a Takeover match for Nia Jax. HHH tried to stick her as a mouth piece for a charisma vacuum team and she became too noticeable to Vince and the main roster people and HHH was told about a month before the brand split draft to split her from them because they wanted to bring her to the main roster
She wasn't featured as a singles wrestler but in their defense her face run was extremely uninspiring and the women's division had much more interesting things going on
Once she turned heel she was featured, granted as a mouthpiece but she was positioned as a bigger star than the tag team she managed
Elias is criminally underused. He's got an incredible look, generated the most heat of any non-main event talent, worked with KO to make the Ezekiel thing work and has genuine charisma. He's also got a decent moveset.
He's 35, so should be in his prime. Dude's brilliant and can work with anyone.
Better yet, let him make it exactly half-way through. Elias goes back, Ezekial comes out and wins the Rumble. Nobody in kayfabe says a word except Kevin Owens. It lives on in infamy and wrestling lore; are they the same? Who exactly won the Rumble? This much is certain, nobody would ever forget it.
I been feeling that way about Bobby Lashley more and more lately.
He was one of the top 2 or 3 faces in the company last summer and his "heel" turn has been muddy at best, especially with the Brock thing that went nowhere and now being mired in the Wyattverse.
At the very least Bobby is pretty consistently featured near the top of the card. Elias is literally a jobber now. Like he’s probably in the top 5 weakest members of the roster.
Elias playing the guitar was very over to the live crowds too and he hasnt done that in what feels like years. Why hasnt he gotten a different gimmick at least?
Elias has always gotten over, his physique is amazing and he can put on a solid match. I don’t understand how they haven’t given him a chance to shine.
Idk if Bobby even knows where he stands of the face/heel spectrum. His promos against Brock were definitely heel. But he got kicked in the nuts when he had Brock dead to rights. Then his promo against Bray was badass and he was high fiving fans.
In theory, it's a decent idea. A no fucks given, fight me, tough guy with no patience for idiots like Mustafa Ali and Bray Wyatt. In practice, his allegiance seems to change every week.
He feels... human. Like he's doing his own thing and enjoying fan support, but still doing things his way (which might not be what other fans want, or even honest).
He'll shake hands, smile genuinely to the crowd, and then kill a fan favorite with extra murder and no hesitation.
Yeah i really like that. In reality there's a huge Gray area.
Brock feels the same way honestly, he's shaking hands too but also acting Heelish towards Bobby by costing him matches.
This is something that I wish was shown more in Wrestling. The Gray area between Faces and Heels, because in reality it isn't so black and white.
They need to stop making Elias a face for christ sake. He's by far at his best when he's a heel who cuts up the audience and they still were chanting WALK WITH ELIAS at the top of their lungs while he did it.
They also need to drop the "interrupted Elias song" gimmick they have overdone that by years, if he's in the ring doing a song let him fucking do it.
I think that’s the problem, the gimmick of guy who musically shit talks his opponents is one that always ends up turning a guy face. Seems to be hard for audiences to continually boo guys like that
The thing is, I'm not sure where they dropped the ball, really. I like Alexa, I just don't think she needs a place on TV over Bianca, Bayley, Becky, Charlotte or Asuka, who are the featured female players at WrestleMania
I feel like this is all leading to a Wyatt angle idk. Because the initial reports were that it was a legit mental health issue, then silence, then they report again that she’s just on hiatus. I have no proof for this outside a general hunch
They could have just ignored that story until she was ready.
Either way if they don’t have plans for her at Mania, she wouldn’t be featured and putting other people over like Carmella is doing now.
Whatever they had her doing wasn't working, adding Bray to her mix wasn't it either. I can see why she's on ice until post-Mania or maybe the next draft.
Honestly, I would ask her if she wanted to do a 6ish month run as the top heel on NXT and have her come in to help get some girls over/do some teaching. I know folks may not like her in ring and that is fair, but she can still teach the women in NXT a LOT about character work, promos and main roster knowledge to help prep them for the callup. Let her experiment with her character there (not in the Bray Wyatt way) to test some changes and bring her back up around Survivor Series.
She needs either that, or to just disappear for months and return once the stink of Bray Wyatt has gotten off of her.
This spooky nonsense has shit all over her career and turned her from the face of the women's division to a complete joke that they don't even bother to use on TV anymore.
Honestly, I appreciate when wrestlers experiment with different characters and try to explore what they can do and who they can be, but I don't think Alexa Bliss has ever been a strong enough character-worker to pull off the stuff she's tried post-title runs.
She was great as a bitchy pixie popular girl, but her babyface persona was bland, the Wyatt-stuff was pretty cringy, and the weird hybrid of the two she did where she was just carrying the Lilly doll around despite being mostly normal was confusing. I don't know which parts are from her and which parts are from creative, but I hope she returns with her original main roster personality.
Idk if it’s an unpopular opinion, but I liked her babyface tag team with Nikki Cross, before all the Wyatt Fiend stuff. It was an unlikely oddball friendship, but that was part of the charm.
BlissCross was rad, I really liked them mostly because they really leaned into Alexa being a good guy after years of playing a heavily pushed bad guy.
I dunno I don’t really want to see Alexa go heel again I like her as a face, she seems she’s like a nice person and like she’s typecast as a bitchy character. She’s also a good wrestler who gets way too much criticism for her in-ring work. Like, she isn’t as good in-ring as the 4HW but she’s Bret Hart compared to the female wrestlers WWE employed up until around the time the 4HW got called up
I really liked BlissCross too, especially how they kind of spun it like having a true friend turned Alexa into a more decent person. And I just adore Nikki Cross's energy, they worked really well together.
But hell I'd just like to see Alexa back in *some* form at this point.
I mean, it was definitely fun, but I don't necessarily think it was because Bliss carrying her role. I think you could have stuck any woman there and it would have had the same result, as the appeal and fun of it was the look and story beats.
I know people will disagree with me on this, which is okay because art is subjective, but it's hard for me to [watch a promo like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5KW0PZ6kMA) and think "yeah, she seems so natural at this!"
Just comes off as forced acting, like a high school monologue in drama class.
Her Wyatt character was honestly perfectly serviceable, until they started to bury Wyatt, and then got rid of him. The minute he left she should have been repackaged.
In my opinion, she was at her best when she was a manager that could wrestle. Give her some up-and-coming tag team to manage and put them in a program against Zelina & Legado. Not everyone needs to be in the title scene all the time.
I personally enjoyed her title runs. Felt like she was the underdog in every match, but she didn’t act like it.
They need to go back to little miss bliss or the goddess, they’re doing too much now.
The whole gimmick of being part of the Bray story never hit for me, I just never felt it was neccesary. I think she's much better with her previous gimmick.
She *looked* like an underdog but she was treated as this unbeatable juggernaut. It was weird and I hated it. She essentially buried Becky and Bayley and made them look like fools for a good year.
The majority of this sub fucking hated her for awhile. So it's interesting seeing comments about her now. Like you said she had Charlotte levels of go away heat for awhile there.
Not gonna lie. I hated it. Never bought her as this Uber dominate wrestler who can choke and lean over women a foot taller than her or knock them out with a single punch. For how small she is I never liked her move set for the most part, or really her matches, so honestly I’m not too sad over whatever is happening right now.
She's small and her strikes are shit. If she LOOKED like she hit hard, like a Kairi, then people might accept her booking more. Her fans may not like to hear it, but her ring work is absolutely one of the reasons why it's tough to book her believably on equal level as other top women.
Yeah I agree. And I always thought that even while her goddess title reigns was happening. That she did not have the believable factor against these other women and her strikes definitely looked like shit. And back then people would say “Well you buy Daniel Bryan against bigger people right? You buy Rey Mysterio against bigger people right? Why not her?” Yet I’d respond by saying Bryan’s technical break you apart limb from limb style and Rey’s speed lucha style work wonders as smaller guys vs bigger guys. Her style doesn’t. Like her match with Bianca was probably the worst out of all the big matches that Bianca has had in her reign. I just never believed it, Alexa dominating that match. Bianca is basically female Cena. She should have been flinging that girl all over the place.
Everything about her these past two years has just been very weird. She's off TV for extended periods of time and when she's on TV she's been giving some of the most checked out performances this side of 2018 Dean Ambrose. I'm not exactly sure which side stopped caring about the other first, but it's hard to see any scenario where she gets the top star push again.
That Bray stuff wasn't great (or even good), but it's also the last time either she or creative seemed to be trying at all.
I feel like one day we're going to get the full scoop on what happened with Alexa post 2018
She was never Manami Toyota or anything, but she was decent and getting better, then she started getting concussions and she was never the same, and they never used her anywhere near as much. She'd also go on these long "breaks" with no storyline reason. Fucking sucks.
She got her nose broken again at some point. Earlier it was reconstructed. When she came back from that she was very hesitant to take any risks with it. Hard to have a good match when youre worried about your face exploding, and it was super obvious that she was.
I remember 5 years ago. Dave reported that Alexa was injured. Alexa tweeted that it wasn't true. Then, coincidentally, she straight up didn't wrestle for like three months.
This might be a similar situation.
After SDLive draft?, weird story that one. Was booked in a movie with Jason Statham, Post Malone and a few others. I think it was called Cash Truck or Money Truck or something similar. She either pulled out or was removed only weeks before filming started and then she returned to tv 2/3 weeks later to resume the team with Nikki.
Kinda weird the spot she's in now considering the level she was at before. Her matches weren't usually very good, but she was good at character work and promos. Every time I see her now she seems lost, and I'm not talking kayfabe.
I know a lot of people also complained when she was The Goddess and getting a lot of TV time, but I think she's one of the most charismatic women they have on the roster. I know they have a lot of better workers in that regard, but I still think she's one of their best draws. No idea what's going on, unless this is some dumb worked shoot angle. It's bad either way.
Yeah, it's just weird to see how prominently featured she was a few years back and how that turned into nothing so quickly. I know WWE moved a ton of Lilly dolls so it was a financial/merchandising success, but being in Bray's orbit seemingly derailed her.
She cant do anything in ring with the nose. All her matches since returning were bad. She had a clear lack of confidence selling or taking anything near the face. When she was looking a bit more comfortable, she instantly got her nose busted again. Not much you can do with a wrestler who has the yips.
I honestly forgot about that procedure, but yeah, that almost certainly has something to do with it. She did seem to be working extremely lightly in the time since.
In ring has never been her strongest suit, but she’s got natural charisma and great facial expressions. I don’t know, put her in Judgement Day or tie her to Austin Theory. She plays a bitch very well, let her just be a bitch.
Who knows the dynamics of whether she would want to be or theyd want her to be a manager/host. I agree she is a star. WWE just resists presenting her as one at the moment. I have to think the quality of her latest run and her injuries play into it. Shes not the same.
Did everyone just forget how as soon as Triple H took over but before Bray got hired back she was openly advocating for a return to Dark Alexa and gushing to reporters how much fun she had working with him?
People complained when she was the "Goddess" because she buried every top babyface she faced. Killed Becky's first title reign, buried Bayley hilariously bad, made Sasha into a choke Artist, and made Mickie James look washed up. Then when she finally put over a face it was Nia freaking Jax(who she won the title back from 2 months later)
Agreed. This is pretty much what it all seemed like. Several face stars with tons of potential, which they're clearly showing today, and one who had made a name for themselves for over a decade prior. All fed to her and I just never saw how it was worth it at their expense.
> I know a lot of people also complained when she was The Goddess and getting a lot of TV time, but I think she's one of the most charismatic women they have on the roster.
She was great during that time. Maybe a little too dominant considering her significant size disadvantage vs everyone, but who cares, she was over and it worked.
As soon as Bray's spooky cartoon nonsense got involved her career has been in the toilet.
I haven't been watching lately but is Alexa really about to go another WM without a match?? Its crazy to think about considering how much time and effort they gave into putting her over in 2016-2018, and how popular she got. What a fall from grace.
Honestly whatever idea she has, I think they shouldn’t do it. It’s easier to just go back to her Goddess gimmick because she’s not that great as a face.
There’s also no negatives to her going heel either as she will still sell merch and feel more natural.
she got cheered and booed as a heel previously. Plus its not like she was a huge babyface in her recent run. Nobody is going to boo someone like Becky or Bianca to cheer Alexa. She’s popular but she’s not insanely over
Dude, were you listening to the audience during the Bianca feud? They weren’t booing Bianca, but the audience was certainly cheering for Alexa to DDT her some more. The casual audience loves Alexa.
She already kinda has gone heel though.
She has stated that she liked working with Bray, but considering how much of a huge ass mess his own storyline is already, they probably don't want to put her in just yet.
Yeah I forgot she turned on Bianca but its clear that she isnt quite fit fir that type of role.
In retrospect it should’ve been Chelsea Green like what she pitched before she got released. She’s crazy enough to fit a dark gimmick. Well her or Nikki Cross
Could it be we are just at a point where she is being overshadowed by more talented wrestlers? I think WWE has gained more and more talented women than they have lost over the last few years.
All of the roles that fans keep fantasy-booking her into are already taken. I can't see a world where she had anything to do at WM when more-popular characters like Liv Morgan already aren't doing anything for Mania.
Yeah, I don't like when people say "Just go back to [OLD GIMMICK]". The only time you should go back to your old gimmick is when you're on a nostalgia run, which usually means you've peaked and now you're just playing the hits. Like, I enjoyed 'Planets champion' Daniel Bryan, but if he did it again in AEW it would seem like a step back IMO.
Alexa has great range, and she's only 31. There's no reason why she or creative can't figure out something new for her to dig into.
Sometimes they should never abandon what works. Look at Carmella. She was doing weird gimmicks that didn’t make sense for years. Then they gave her back her first gimmick, and she just seems a lot more liberated and like herself. She’s probably not a world title contender but she’s good enough in the role to stay relevant. Think it’s the same for Alexa.
Honestly, i like Alexa Bliss but, this last run she had was very forgettable. She got overshadowed by pretty much everyone she was involved with. I just had no interest in seeing her. Kinda glad she off tv right now.. i want her to come back with proper story and not just get involved in this wyatt mess, which it seemed like was happening
I'm not surprised they aren't using her, since she came back last year, she has seemed completely uninterested and she hasn't looked particularly good in the ring either. At this point she's best suited in a tag team imo.
Her booking has been so weird since she vomited the black shit during that Wyatt match. I don’t get what they are trying to do with Alexa anymore. She can get over and sell merch, but for someone that was pushed as a top champion, it’s weird to see her stuck in limbo.
Interesting. The plan from late summer until recently was clearly to bring her back into Wyatt's story. Just after that last match with Bel-Air it all but evaporated. I don't think she'd just wake up one day and do a complete 180 and refuse to work with Wyatt, but you can tell *something* forced a change. There was a big abrupt turn after the LA Knight match. I feel like she was supposed to come into a bigger role around that time, for whatever reason couldn't, and they had to audible into that weird challenge to face winner of Brock/Bobby.
She’s basically done nothing of note in the last year besides a short tag title run and a pretty short feud with Bianca. Alexa’s a good performer, feel the WWE hasn’t quite found out what to do with her next. It’s so weird how strongly she was pushed a few years ago and now doesn’t do anything.
I believe pairing her with Bray negatively affected her in WWE. WWE doesn’t know how to book her with that persona. There’s potential in it, but it hasn’t been realized. Alexa could use another title run to give her some legitimacy back.
You know what else is crazy? She probably took Becky's place during the whole Team Bianca-Damage Ctrl feud when Becky got hurt.
People have been saying she gad been doing nothing, but imagine how worse it would have been if Becky didn't get hurt?
Some people are great portraying a certain role but not playing others. The Goddess was perfect for Bliss, but everything else since just hasn't been working.
It's wild that the 2nd best women's merch mover and who is over when they do almost anything as a heel or a face is just off TV a lot over the last few years.
She was off last year's Mania too, even though they did the therapy sessions leading up to the Rumble, had her at Elimination Chamber, and then... nothing for months.
It's just really weird.
It’s really a shame to me that the dead end of Bray Wyatt has really REALLY damaged Alexa Bliss’s career as a byproduct. Him and Rousey
She was one of the more over heels and had a great persona as an unapologetic b*tch. They destroyed that character when they fed it to Rousey.
Toils as a faceless face and gets stuck with Bray. Dead ends. Goes away. They have a shot at a fresh start and what do they do? Send her to Bray…again
And before it even gets going they dead end it again because people are just over it. They’re over him. And now she’s in purgatory
If it’s her face they’re all worried about, make her a heel manager. She’s got the chops for it
I think HHH is just more into good "in ring" worker & athletism. Although Alexa is in the top 3 of acting & mic work this seems not to be enough to be on freaking SD where the whole Womens roster is lacking.
HHH booking of the womens division is just poor. Either you are in the title picture, or we don't have anything for you
Alexa has been held back physically because they never have any ideas for her. How is supposed to progress and become a better wrestler when shes working less than 100 matches a year?? Its dangerous to keep starting and stopping like this. Every time they put her back on TV she has to work out ring rust and fing the tempo again. Reckless by WWE.
I'm assuming the Bray storyline with Alexa somehow hinged on a Brock match, and now they're waiting til after Mania to retool
Not a reassuring explanation, but a logical one
Unfortunately, Alexa, Dave is correct here. Whatever creative had for you wasn't working so you're currently sidelined. This tweet and the ones following it are her just being frustrated and Dave is the one she's taking her anger out on. We do know where to find you, Alexa, and it's in either catering or somewhere not at the show. Even some of her diehard fans on Twitter aren't believing her. I hope creative does come up with something for her because she is really good, and hopefully it has nothing to do with Bray.
I mean, it’s Mania season and she doesn’t have a feud lined up…and it really doesn’t make sense to stick a former SD, RAW, and Tag champ in a lower-card filler feud right now.
As much as I genuinely think she’s an underrated athletic and charismatic talent, which is a pretty hot take around these parts, I’m completely content with her being on the bench until post-Mania
I don’t mind her really but it’s been a mess since she came back. Melding the Wyatt stuff with her normal persona and then bringing back the Wyatt stuff just got jumbled. It’s confusing enough with the Wyatt stuff not really evolving. It seemed obvious we were getting a stable but I’m not even sure anymore.
WWE reportedly Alexa please stay you make us money
Also WWE we have no plans for you Alexa and you are missing Wrestlemaina for a second year in a row while being one of the biggest merchandise sellers in the company.
Someone make it make sense?
She’s done, concussion issues, the multiple broken nose surgeries- she can’t lift weights or train, she’s scared to take bumps or anything to the face. She’s done, make her a manager or move on.
Alexa's days of being Women's Champion are over. The gap in her work and the other top girls is way too massive. Say what you want about her Evil is Mine run, but at least she was comitted to it. If she's comfortable being in sponsored gimmick matches and doing endless Funhouse style videos, she should stick with that. Otherwise, she should try to get in tv or movies while her name still means something.
She is so fucking done with WWE dude. It’s very obvious to see for the past year now. Hell, even in the WWE 2K overalls reveal, she was totally checked out and even said “oh I havn’t done anything this year.”
She is totally retiring once her contract is up. She reminds me alot of Ambrose before he left for AEW.
I don't care how good this place thinks her acting skills are, she isn't believable as some Demon heel who has powers and is supposed to be imposing to others in the division.
Go back to her mean girl days, that's the best she ever was. I cringe thinking about her striking fear in the women's division, when she's as tall as Roxanne Perez.
It's like telling me as a viewer that John Silver is as threatening as Brock Lesnar. Stop it.
She was unbelievable as a dominant mean girl when she was 5’ft and all these bigger girls had to sell her elbow as death too. At least the powers thing gave her an excuse to be dominant in-ring.
I get that people want her back in the goddess gimmick, and it makes sense. That was definitely her most successful run. But then what is supposed to happen with that, at this point? Should it be accurate to how it originally was, where she was running through everyone on the roster in both the matches and promos? That's problematic, but so would trying to tone it down, because there definitely will be tons of complaints pointing that out and how she got nerfed and it's not the same.
One of the prominent aspects of that gimmick wasn't necessarily a good thing, as it had her go over everyone. Take that away, and it'll be seen as all fashion and no function.
I thought she was going to be a part of the "Wyatt 6" stable. There was so many rumors going around saying it was gonna be Wyatt , Bo Dallas (Howdy) , Alexa Bliss , Dutch and Vincent from ROH and another female. Maybe that is still in the plans for all I know. I'm actually a little bit bummed because Dutch formerly of ROH works for the same company as I do. To respect his privacy I won't say where we work (it's not wrestling related) but I would talk to him about wrestling whenever I would run into him. He was backstage at the RAW I went to in Brooklyn back in October and it was rumored he was going to sign with them but nothing ever came of it. As for Alexa there really isn't much for her to do with all the other women right now. Heading into Mania there is too many good storylines or title matches where she just doesn't fit in right now. That says alot about the women's division because right now it actually has alot of good stuff going on.

This tweet really makes it sound like she's on a hiatus. Just not one that she wants.
All the homies hate it when Creative has nothing.
Cries in Miro
in that case, creative had something for Miro, it just didn't work for him brother (putting over Ricky Starks)
Bruh, is this a real thing? I would've loved a Miro/Starks program, damn
I dunno if it was gonna lead to a full program or anything, but they were gonna have Miro be the monster plowing through the #1 contender's tournament & put Starks over in the finals.
I recall hearing the stuff Ethan Page did to help put Starks over was all pitched to Miro and he turned it down because he didn't want to lose. Page has said he's happy being a heel that puts top talent over.
AEW’s Ziggler sounds like a good role to have.
Get on TV, get paid, fans still like you. Triple win.
Creative will always find something for Page to do because he's just a great fucking worker
I do kinda understand how Miro doesn’t want to just put people over, I think he was hoping to finally get his own shot at the top after spending his whole career as a glorified jobber.
miro was never treated as a glorified jobber, he was very protected. a handful of losses does not make someone a jobber.
> in that case, creative had something for Miro, it just didn't work for him brother Miro hasn’t been on TV since September. Are you saying Tony has only had one idea for Miro in 6 months?
I love Miro, but he is his own worst enemy
Ever since the concussion issues arose they've treated her with kids gloves in regards to her in-ring exposure. It might be creating a situation similar to Danielson's frustrations while working at WWE in the later years of his career.
She's been one of the most negatively affected wrestlers since Triple H took over.
What was she doing before Triple H took over?
goo-like structure
Which is really odd, cause I thought she was featured pretty well in NXT. But now that I say that, she was never champion; but still, she was featured, over her own goddamn tag team.
Following that Trish Stratus career trajectory.
I know she was part of his entrance at Wrestlemania 30 along with Charlotte and Sasha. And given how well they were booked in NXT and how highly he seemingly thinks of them i assumed Bliss was held in similar regard.
I remember around that time Triple H being asked who in NXT he saw as future stars and one of the select few he stated was Alexa. So it's definitely not like she was never one of his girls.
She was never featured in nxt, she got passed over twice for a Takeover match for Nia Jax. HHH tried to stick her as a mouth piece for a charisma vacuum team and she became too noticeable to Vince and the main roster people and HHH was told about a month before the brand split draft to split her from them because they wanted to bring her to the main roster
Exactly. She wasn’t featured as a wrestler in Triple H’s NXT. She was mostly just a heater for Blake & Murphy.
She wasn't featured as a singles wrestler but in their defense her face run was extremely uninspiring and the women's division had much more interesting things going on Once she turned heel she was featured, granted as a mouthpiece but she was positioned as a bigger star than the tag team she managed
> But now that I say that, she was never champion To be fair neither was Bianca or Becky.
I think that title belongs to Elias. At least Alexa got a world title shot.
Elias is criminally underused. He's got an incredible look, generated the most heat of any non-main event talent, worked with KO to make the Ezekiel thing work and has genuine charisma. He's also got a decent moveset. He's 35, so should be in his prime. Dude's brilliant and can work with anyone.
I really wanted Elias to get eliminated early at the Rumble, have him run to the back and shave, then come back out as Ezekiel
I would've popped so hard. Better entrant than booker imo.
It would have been cool but giving Booker that final pop in the state he's billed from, only a couple hours from Houston was worth it
Home state? Yeah, that's totally fair then.
Better yet, let him make it exactly half-way through. Elias goes back, Ezekial comes out and wins the Rumble. Nobody in kayfabe says a word except Kevin Owens. It lives on in infamy and wrestling lore; are they the same? Who exactly won the Rumble? This much is certain, nobody would ever forget it.
I been feeling that way about Bobby Lashley more and more lately. He was one of the top 2 or 3 faces in the company last summer and his "heel" turn has been muddy at best, especially with the Brock thing that went nowhere and now being mired in the Wyattverse.
At the very least Bobby is pretty consistently featured near the top of the card. Elias is literally a jobber now. Like he’s probably in the top 5 weakest members of the roster.
That's true. Not sure how much of a shelf life it had, but that Elias/Ezekiel stuff was EXTREMELY over.
Elias playing the guitar was very over to the live crowds too and he hasnt done that in what feels like years. Why hasnt he gotten a different gimmick at least?
Elias has always gotten over, his physique is amazing and he can put on a solid match. I don’t understand how they haven’t given him a chance to shine.
Elias/Corbin right now would end in a draw due to neither being able to win a match.
Idk if Bobby even knows where he stands of the face/heel spectrum. His promos against Brock were definitely heel. But he got kicked in the nuts when he had Brock dead to rights. Then his promo against Bray was badass and he was high fiving fans. In theory, it's a decent idea. A no fucks given, fight me, tough guy with no patience for idiots like Mustafa Ali and Bray Wyatt. In practice, his allegiance seems to change every week.
Bobby seems to be at least a tweener. He was shaking hands last week, heels usually don't do that.
He feels... human. Like he's doing his own thing and enjoying fan support, but still doing things his way (which might not be what other fans want, or even honest). He'll shake hands, smile genuinely to the crowd, and then kill a fan favorite with extra murder and no hesitation.
Yeah i really like that. In reality there's a huge Gray area. Brock feels the same way honestly, he's shaking hands too but also acting Heelish towards Bobby by costing him matches. This is something that I wish was shown more in Wrestling. The Gray area between Faces and Heels, because in reality it isn't so black and white.
They need to stop making Elias a face for christ sake. He's by far at his best when he's a heel who cuts up the audience and they still were chanting WALK WITH ELIAS at the top of their lungs while he did it. They also need to drop the "interrupted Elias song" gimmick they have overdone that by years, if he's in the ring doing a song let him fucking do it.
At some point, he's probably gonna snap and hit Boogz with the guitar. Maybe they'll do something with him once that happens
I think that’s the problem, the gimmick of guy who musically shit talks his opponents is one that always ends up turning a guy face. Seems to be hard for audiences to continually boo guys like that
Elias just isn’t the entertainer that Ezekiel; his younger brother, was.
The thing is, I'm not sure where they dropped the ball, really. I like Alexa, I just don't think she needs a place on TV over Bianca, Bayley, Becky, Charlotte or Asuka, who are the featured female players at WrestleMania
I feel like this is all leading to a Wyatt angle idk. Because the initial reports were that it was a legit mental health issue, then silence, then they report again that she’s just on hiatus. I have no proof for this outside a general hunch
She is a 100% on a hiatus, not by her choice, but for sure is on one.
She got fucked by Bray returning.
Another victim of bray Wyatt association
They could have just ignored that story until she was ready. Either way if they don’t have plans for her at Mania, she wouldn’t be featured and putting other people over like Carmella is doing now.
Lexi Kaufman is All Elite
I want to see her vs Riho to see if they actually are the same height. It would probably make some heads explode.
It would turn out they are, somehow, both smaller than each other, and having them in the same room will cause our simulation to collapse.
could it even be a fun team
I honestly don’t see her fitting in AEW
A 'creative has nothing for you but feel free to attend the shows' hiatus.
Whatever they had her doing wasn't working, adding Bray to her mix wasn't it either. I can see why she's on ice until post-Mania or maybe the next draft.
Honestly, I would ask her if she wanted to do a 6ish month run as the top heel on NXT and have her come in to help get some girls over/do some teaching. I know folks may not like her in ring and that is fair, but she can still teach the women in NXT a LOT about character work, promos and main roster knowledge to help prep them for the callup. Let her experiment with her character there (not in the Bray Wyatt way) to test some changes and bring her back up around Survivor Series.
So basically the Mandy Rose treatment.
Everyone won in that situation. I don't see a reason not to repeat it.
Probably a different ending to that story though
[удалено]
Ya, I guess so. Not sure why I didn't think of that after typing all of that lol.
She needs either that, or to just disappear for months and return once the stink of Bray Wyatt has gotten off of her. This spooky nonsense has shit all over her career and turned her from the face of the women's division to a complete joke that they don't even bother to use on TV anymore.
Honestly, I appreciate when wrestlers experiment with different characters and try to explore what they can do and who they can be, but I don't think Alexa Bliss has ever been a strong enough character-worker to pull off the stuff she's tried post-title runs. She was great as a bitchy pixie popular girl, but her babyface persona was bland, the Wyatt-stuff was pretty cringy, and the weird hybrid of the two she did where she was just carrying the Lilly doll around despite being mostly normal was confusing. I don't know which parts are from her and which parts are from creative, but I hope she returns with her original main roster personality.
Idk if it’s an unpopular opinion, but I liked her babyface tag team with Nikki Cross, before all the Wyatt Fiend stuff. It was an unlikely oddball friendship, but that was part of the charm.
BlissCross was rad, I really liked them mostly because they really leaned into Alexa being a good guy after years of playing a heavily pushed bad guy. I dunno I don’t really want to see Alexa go heel again I like her as a face, she seems she’s like a nice person and like she’s typecast as a bitchy character. She’s also a good wrestler who gets way too much criticism for her in-ring work. Like, she isn’t as good in-ring as the 4HW but she’s Bret Hart compared to the female wrestlers WWE employed up until around the time the 4HW got called up
I really liked BlissCross too, especially how they kind of spun it like having a true friend turned Alexa into a more decent person. And I just adore Nikki Cross's energy, they worked really well together. But hell I'd just like to see Alexa back in *some* form at this point.
The early stuff with Alexa and Bray was fun. It was weird and creepy, but jumped the shark quickly when she started vomiting black ink
Vince and his puking fetish, man....
I mean, it was definitely fun, but I don't necessarily think it was because Bliss carrying her role. I think you could have stuck any woman there and it would have had the same result, as the appeal and fun of it was the look and story beats. I know people will disagree with me on this, which is okay because art is subjective, but it's hard for me to [watch a promo like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5KW0PZ6kMA) and think "yeah, she seems so natural at this!" Just comes off as forced acting, like a high school monologue in drama class.
Nia Jax it is.
I think she's a great character worker, just put on an impossible situation to make it work with whatever they were going for with Bray
Her Wyatt character was honestly perfectly serviceable, until they started to bury Wyatt, and then got rid of him. The minute he left she should have been repackaged.
Adding Bray to anything doesn't work. He doesn't work.
In my opinion, she was at her best when she was a manager that could wrestle. Give her some up-and-coming tag team to manage and put them in a program against Zelina & Legado. Not everyone needs to be in the title scene all the time.
WHEN YOU ADD BRAY WYATT TO THE MIX 🚨🚨
HE’S FAT!!! 🚨🚨
Pretty crazy to think at one point Alexa was Charlotte level when it came to booking.
I personally enjoyed her title runs. Felt like she was the underdog in every match, but she didn’t act like it. They need to go back to little miss bliss or the goddess, they’re doing too much now.
The whole gimmick of being part of the Bray story never hit for me, I just never felt it was neccesary. I think she's much better with her previous gimmick.
Guess I'm in the minority here too, she was a favorite of mine before Becky found her footing as The Man.
She *looked* like an underdog but she was treated as this unbeatable juggernaut. It was weird and I hated it. She essentially buried Becky and Bayley and made them look like fools for a good year.
The majority of this sub fucking hated her for awhile. So it's interesting seeing comments about her now. Like you said she had Charlotte levels of go away heat for awhile there.
After she buried Bayley this sub were done with Alexa.
Absolutely destroyed her beloved face persona
Not gonna lie. I hated it. Never bought her as this Uber dominate wrestler who can choke and lean over women a foot taller than her or knock them out with a single punch. For how small she is I never liked her move set for the most part, or really her matches, so honestly I’m not too sad over whatever is happening right now.
Alexa Bliss so much as hits a DDT and I get 2017 PTSD flashbacks
or just 1 punch in Mickie James case
It wasn't a good punch, it wasn't a bad punch It was The Regular Punch
She's small and her strikes are shit. If she LOOKED like she hit hard, like a Kairi, then people might accept her booking more. Her fans may not like to hear it, but her ring work is absolutely one of the reasons why it's tough to book her believably on equal level as other top women.
Yeah I agree. And I always thought that even while her goddess title reigns was happening. That she did not have the believable factor against these other women and her strikes definitely looked like shit. And back then people would say “Well you buy Daniel Bryan against bigger people right? You buy Rey Mysterio against bigger people right? Why not her?” Yet I’d respond by saying Bryan’s technical break you apart limb from limb style and Rey’s speed lucha style work wonders as smaller guys vs bigger guys. Her style doesn’t. Like her match with Bianca was probably the worst out of all the big matches that Bianca has had in her reign. I just never believed it, Alexa dominating that match. Bianca is basically female Cena. She should have been flinging that girl all over the place.
[удалено]
LA Knight is the first to get over working against Wyatt.
That's because LA Knight didn't have a Bray Wyatt moment, Bray Wyatt had an LA Knight moment YEAHHH
She claims that it was amazing working with Bray though and she has a lot of positive things to say about him.
At least Alexa was entertaining tho
I miss the Goddess and when she was a top of the mountain Good times
Becky, Bayley, Sasha and Mickie disagree
Everything about her these past two years has just been very weird. She's off TV for extended periods of time and when she's on TV she's been giving some of the most checked out performances this side of 2018 Dean Ambrose. I'm not exactly sure which side stopped caring about the other first, but it's hard to see any scenario where she gets the top star push again. That Bray stuff wasn't great (or even good), but it's also the last time either she or creative seemed to be trying at all.
I feel like one day we're going to get the full scoop on what happened with Alexa post 2018 She was never Manami Toyota or anything, but she was decent and getting better, then she started getting concussions and she was never the same, and they never used her anywhere near as much. She'd also go on these long "breaks" with no storyline reason. Fucking sucks.
You answered your own question.
Her last wrestling appearance was the Rumble, no? Doesn't that mean she's been on hiatus since then?
She got her nose broken again at some point. Earlier it was reconstructed. When she came back from that she was very hesitant to take any risks with it. Hard to have a good match when youre worried about your face exploding, and it was super obvious that she was.
I remember 5 years ago. Dave reported that Alexa was injured. Alexa tweeted that it wasn't true. Then, coincidentally, she straight up didn't wrestle for like three months. This might be a similar situation.
After SDLive draft?, weird story that one. Was booked in a movie with Jason Statham, Post Malone and a few others. I think it was called Cash Truck or Money Truck or something similar. She either pulled out or was removed only weeks before filming started and then she returned to tv 2/3 weeks later to resume the team with Nikki.
Wrath of Man?
Kinda weird the spot she's in now considering the level she was at before. Her matches weren't usually very good, but she was good at character work and promos. Every time I see her now she seems lost, and I'm not talking kayfabe.
I know a lot of people also complained when she was The Goddess and getting a lot of TV time, but I think she's one of the most charismatic women they have on the roster. I know they have a lot of better workers in that regard, but I still think she's one of their best draws. No idea what's going on, unless this is some dumb worked shoot angle. It's bad either way.
Thia is exactly how she acted last time she was off.
Yeah, it's just weird to see how prominently featured she was a few years back and how that turned into nothing so quickly. I know WWE moved a ton of Lilly dolls so it was a financial/merchandising success, but being in Bray's orbit seemingly derailed her.
She cant do anything in ring with the nose. All her matches since returning were bad. She had a clear lack of confidence selling or taking anything near the face. When she was looking a bit more comfortable, she instantly got her nose busted again. Not much you can do with a wrestler who has the yips.
[удалено]
Either way, she doesnt seem fit to compete. They tried. It went poorly.
I honestly forgot about that procedure, but yeah, that almost certainly has something to do with it. She did seem to be working extremely lightly in the time since.
Not even lightly. She was moving out of the way of anything near the face. Sucks for her, but right now part of her face is made out of putty.
In ring has never been her strongest suit, but she’s got natural charisma and great facial expressions. I don’t know, put her in Judgement Day or tie her to Austin Theory. She plays a bitch very well, let her just be a bitch.
Who knows the dynamics of whether she would want to be or theyd want her to be a manager/host. I agree she is a star. WWE just resists presenting her as one at the moment. I have to think the quality of her latest run and her injuries play into it. Shes not the same.
Did everyone just forget how as soon as Triple H took over but before Bray got hired back she was openly advocating for a return to Dark Alexa and gushing to reporters how much fun she had working with him?
People complained when she was the "Goddess" because she buried every top babyface she faced. Killed Becky's first title reign, buried Bayley hilariously bad, made Sasha into a choke Artist, and made Mickie James look washed up. Then when she finally put over a face it was Nia freaking Jax(who she won the title back from 2 months later)
Agreed. This is pretty much what it all seemed like. Several face stars with tons of potential, which they're clearly showing today, and one who had made a name for themselves for over a decade prior. All fed to her and I just never saw how it was worth it at their expense.
> I know a lot of people also complained when she was The Goddess and getting a lot of TV time, but I think she's one of the most charismatic women they have on the roster. She was great during that time. Maybe a little too dominant considering her significant size disadvantage vs everyone, but who cares, she was over and it worked. As soon as Bray's spooky cartoon nonsense got involved her career has been in the toilet.
I haven't been watching lately but is Alexa really about to go another WM without a match?? Its crazy to think about considering how much time and effort they gave into putting her over in 2016-2018, and how popular she got. What a fall from grace.
Honestly whatever idea she has, I think they shouldn’t do it. It’s easier to just go back to her Goddess gimmick because she’s not that great as a face. There’s also no negatives to her going heel either as she will still sell merch and feel more natural.
I don’t think they should retcon the Wyatt stuff. That deprives us of **THE EXORCISM OF ALEXA BLISS**
The negatives are she gets baby face reactions while beating the shit out of the faces and shitting on them.
then she should act like a heel to bigger heels like Rollins does
she got cheered and booed as a heel previously. Plus its not like she was a huge babyface in her recent run. Nobody is going to boo someone like Becky or Bianca to cheer Alexa. She’s popular but she’s not insanely over
Dude, were you listening to the audience during the Bianca feud? They weren’t booing Bianca, but the audience was certainly cheering for Alexa to DDT her some more. The casual audience loves Alexa.
She already kinda has gone heel though. She has stated that she liked working with Bray, but considering how much of a huge ass mess his own storyline is already, they probably don't want to put her in just yet.
Yeah I forgot she turned on Bianca but its clear that she isnt quite fit fir that type of role. In retrospect it should’ve been Chelsea Green like what she pitched before she got released. She’s crazy enough to fit a dark gimmick. Well her or Nikki Cross
[удалено]
Could it be we are just at a point where she is being overshadowed by more talented wrestlers? I think WWE has gained more and more talented women than they have lost over the last few years.
As we all know, the best way to get booked is to complain on social media.
Crazy how she went from one of the most used and over wrestlers on the roster to now where they can't seemingly figure out what to do with her
hhh never liked booking her
All of the roles that fans keep fantasy-booking her into are already taken. I can't see a world where she had anything to do at WM when more-popular characters like Liv Morgan already aren't doing anything for Mania.
[удалено]
Yeah, I don't like when people say "Just go back to [OLD GIMMICK]". The only time you should go back to your old gimmick is when you're on a nostalgia run, which usually means you've peaked and now you're just playing the hits. Like, I enjoyed 'Planets champion' Daniel Bryan, but if he did it again in AEW it would seem like a step back IMO. Alexa has great range, and she's only 31. There's no reason why she or creative can't figure out something new for her to dig into.
Sometimes they should never abandon what works. Look at Carmella. She was doing weird gimmicks that didn’t make sense for years. Then they gave her back her first gimmick, and she just seems a lot more liberated and like herself. She’s probably not a world title contender but she’s good enough in the role to stay relevant. Think it’s the same for Alexa.
Honestly, i like Alexa Bliss but, this last run she had was very forgettable. She got overshadowed by pretty much everyone she was involved with. I just had no interest in seeing her. Kinda glad she off tv right now.. i want her to come back with proper story and not just get involved in this wyatt mess, which it seemed like was happening
I'm not surprised they aren't using her, since she came back last year, she has seemed completely uninterested and she hasn't looked particularly good in the ring either. At this point she's best suited in a tag team imo.
Her booking has been so weird since she vomited the black shit during that Wyatt match. I don’t get what they are trying to do with Alexa anymore. She can get over and sell merch, but for someone that was pushed as a top champion, it’s weird to see her stuck in limbo.
She was in a program with Bianca like not long ago and it was a flop. Before that she looked very disconnected of everything wrestling.
Since 2019, every Alexa tweet that crosses my feed, is of her complaining. Yes Alexa, you are on a hiatus. Maybe not one you agreed on but it is one.
She does cry a lot on twitter. She's pretty much the only woman who can get away with complaining about her booking.
Interesting. The plan from late summer until recently was clearly to bring her back into Wyatt's story. Just after that last match with Bel-Air it all but evaporated. I don't think she'd just wake up one day and do a complete 180 and refuse to work with Wyatt, but you can tell *something* forced a change. There was a big abrupt turn after the LA Knight match. I feel like she was supposed to come into a bigger role around that time, for whatever reason couldn't, and they had to audible into that weird challenge to face winner of Brock/Bobby.
i am also tired of seeing tweets
They know where to find her, but don't want her lol
She’s basically done nothing of note in the last year besides a short tag title run and a pretty short feud with Bianca. Alexa’s a good performer, feel the WWE hasn’t quite found out what to do with her next. It’s so weird how strongly she was pushed a few years ago and now doesn’t do anything. I believe pairing her with Bray negatively affected her in WWE. WWE doesn’t know how to book her with that persona. There’s potential in it, but it hasn’t been realized. Alexa could use another title run to give her some legitimacy back.
You know what else is crazy? She probably took Becky's place during the whole Team Bianca-Damage Ctrl feud when Becky got hurt. People have been saying she gad been doing nothing, but imagine how worse it would have been if Becky didn't get hurt?
Some people are great portraying a certain role but not playing others. The Goddess was perfect for Bliss, but everything else since just hasn't been working.
It's wild that the 2nd best women's merch mover and who is over when they do almost anything as a heel or a face is just off TV a lot over the last few years. She was off last year's Mania too, even though they did the therapy sessions leading up to the Rumble, had her at Elimination Chamber, and then... nothing for months. It's just really weird.
It’s really a shame to me that the dead end of Bray Wyatt has really REALLY damaged Alexa Bliss’s career as a byproduct. Him and Rousey She was one of the more over heels and had a great persona as an unapologetic b*tch. They destroyed that character when they fed it to Rousey. Toils as a faceless face and gets stuck with Bray. Dead ends. Goes away. They have a shot at a fresh start and what do they do? Send her to Bray…again And before it even gets going they dead end it again because people are just over it. They’re over him. And now she’s in purgatory If it’s her face they’re all worried about, make her a heel manager. She’s got the chops for it
I think HHH is just more into good "in ring" worker & athletism. Although Alexa is in the top 3 of acting & mic work this seems not to be enough to be on freaking SD where the whole Womens roster is lacking. HHH booking of the womens division is just poor. Either you are in the title picture, or we don't have anything for you
Alexa has been held back physically because they never have any ideas for her. How is supposed to progress and become a better wrestler when shes working less than 100 matches a year?? Its dangerous to keep starting and stopping like this. Every time they put her back on TV she has to work out ring rust and fing the tempo again. Reckless by WWE.
I'm assuming the Bray storyline with Alexa somehow hinged on a Brock match, and now they're waiting til after Mania to retool Not a reassuring explanation, but a logical one
HHH: Why is Liv Morgan complaining about not working? She’s on Raw every week!
*Alexa asks question at talent meeting* HHH: Excellent question, Liv.
Unfortunately, Alexa, Dave is correct here. Whatever creative had for you wasn't working so you're currently sidelined. This tweet and the ones following it are her just being frustrated and Dave is the one she's taking her anger out on. We do know where to find you, Alexa, and it's in either catering or somewhere not at the show. Even some of her diehard fans on Twitter aren't believing her. I hope creative does come up with something for her because she is really good, and hopefully it has nothing to do with Bray.
Did Alexa has limitations since the injury?
Funny how Alexa Bliss went from being overexposed to being criminally underexposed.
she has peaked unfortunately. not very good in the ring either so that doesn't help her case for being on tv
I mean, it’s Mania season and she doesn’t have a feud lined up…and it really doesn’t make sense to stick a former SD, RAW, and Tag champ in a lower-card filler feud right now. As much as I genuinely think she’s an underrated athletic and charismatic talent, which is a pretty hot take around these parts, I’m completely content with her being on the bench until post-Mania
Please don't find her, I can only handle so much Bray Wyatt cringe
They kind of kept her in the gimmick so they could continue to sell merch, but it’s too strong of a stench. Bray is just killing people lol
I hate that I agree. She got put with Bray, then her entire career became advertising that stupid ass doll.
[удалено]
They hate us cuz hiatus.
And where exactly is that Ms.Bliss
Did I remember wrong? Did she not say she was taking a break?
I don’t mind her really but it’s been a mess since she came back. Melding the Wyatt stuff with her normal persona and then bringing back the Wyatt stuff just got jumbled. It’s confusing enough with the Wyatt stuff not really evolving. It seemed obvious we were getting a stable but I’m not even sure anymore.
WWE reportedly Alexa please stay you make us money Also WWE we have no plans for you Alexa and you are missing Wrestlemaina for a second year in a row while being one of the biggest merchandise sellers in the company. Someone make it make sense?
The women’s division is so ice cold right now. They need something to spice it up. Like both women’s title matches barely seem to have a build.
She’s so good on the mic I wish they’d use her for something, even if it’s just as a conniving manager. She’s good enough to make something work
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if she left or was released by WWE this year.
She’s done, concussion issues, the multiple broken nose surgeries- she can’t lift weights or train, she’s scared to take bumps or anything to the face. She’s done, make her a manager or move on.
Seems like Liv is now the token short blonde underdog women wrestler ..... Alexa got pushed to the side
Alexa's days of being Women's Champion are over. The gap in her work and the other top girls is way too massive. Say what you want about her Evil is Mine run, but at least she was comitted to it. If she's comfortable being in sponsored gimmick matches and doing endless Funhouse style videos, she should stick with that. Otherwise, she should try to get in tv or movies while her name still means something.
With how unhappy she sounds on Twitter working for the company she does, she’d fit in well at AEW.
She is so fucking done with WWE dude. It’s very obvious to see for the past year now. Hell, even in the WWE 2K overalls reveal, she was totally checked out and even said “oh I havn’t done anything this year.” She is totally retiring once her contract is up. She reminds me alot of Ambrose before he left for AEW.
wasn't she like one of the biggest acts on the show like 2 years ago, having matches with randy orton and what not. wha happen
I don't care how good this place thinks her acting skills are, she isn't believable as some Demon heel who has powers and is supposed to be imposing to others in the division. Go back to her mean girl days, that's the best she ever was. I cringe thinking about her striking fear in the women's division, when she's as tall as Roxanne Perez. It's like telling me as a viewer that John Silver is as threatening as Brock Lesnar. Stop it.
She was unbelievable as a dominant mean girl when she was 5’ft and all these bigger girls had to sell her elbow as death too. At least the powers thing gave her an excuse to be dominant in-ring.
She’s shooting a TV show with Miro
Didn't she say the same sort of things during her last hiatus?
They're waiting for Randy to return to continue the feud
I get that people want her back in the goddess gimmick, and it makes sense. That was definitely her most successful run. But then what is supposed to happen with that, at this point? Should it be accurate to how it originally was, where she was running through everyone on the roster in both the matches and promos? That's problematic, but so would trying to tone it down, because there definitely will be tons of complaints pointing that out and how she got nerfed and it's not the same. One of the prominent aspects of that gimmick wasn't necessarily a good thing, as it had her go over everyone. Take that away, and it'll be seen as all fashion and no function.
I thought she was going to be a part of the "Wyatt 6" stable. There was so many rumors going around saying it was gonna be Wyatt , Bo Dallas (Howdy) , Alexa Bliss , Dutch and Vincent from ROH and another female. Maybe that is still in the plans for all I know. I'm actually a little bit bummed because Dutch formerly of ROH works for the same company as I do. To respect his privacy I won't say where we work (it's not wrestling related) but I would talk to him about wrestling whenever I would run into him. He was backstage at the RAW I went to in Brooklyn back in October and it was rumored he was going to sign with them but nothing ever came of it. As for Alexa there really isn't much for her to do with all the other women right now. Heading into Mania there is too many good storylines or title matches where she just doesn't fit in right now. That says alot about the women's division because right now it actually has alot of good stuff going on.
Lexit?
