10 Academy Awards (For Pro Westling)

10. Best Actress - Alexa Bliss

The range showcased by Alexa Bliss is remarkable. Her resting b*tch face drips with scorn. She surveys almost everything around her with a roll of the eyes before, when faced with the slightest threat, selling terror in a way that should - but won't - make Stephanie McMahon ashamed. Bliss is an even better sore winner than scared loser, reacting to even the most tainted of triumphs as if she's just stolen the show at WrestleMania. And that's why she holds the RAW Women's Title ahead of it. Bliss deserves the recognition for a year in which she was essentially pro wrestling's Laura Dern: dependably brilliant, diverse, and absolutely everywhere.

Bliss perfected the bait and switch at Elimination Chamber, using the real-life emotion charging her tears to hoodwink the audience into thinking a face turn was imminent. Even your immediate family bought it!

Honourable Nominee Mention: Asuka portrays a sensual killer with the utmost conviction, using her immense physical charisma to intimidate her opponents. Underrated as a comedienne, Asuka's pose theft game is strong, and her terrified selling of the Miz's blustering incompetence throughout the Mixed Match Challenge proves she can play broad when the occasion demands it.
