7 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 5)
4. Bliss Claims Sexism
There’s little chance it was intentional, but Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss had a nice little argument going about how she was being treated differently than WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. She pointed out that she has to defend her title in the Elimination Chamber, while Brock isn’t even scheduled to be on the PPV.
Bliss called it “preferential treatment” because GM Kurt Angle values Lesnar more than her. She called it sexism and demanded equal treatment. It was a pretty good rant from Five Feet of Fury, as she made the case that she was being discriminated against without sounding like a whiner, but more of a manipulator (and there’s a difference).
To his credit, Angle pointed out that Bliss hasn’t defended her title since October(!) and that Brock had just defended his title at Royal Rumble. So while Bliss might have a case, she also was clearly overlooking some basic facts.
Still, it was a pretty good little segment between the two.
