Alexa Bliss Makes History At WWE Payback 2017
Little Miss Bliss etched her name into the history books in San Jose last night.
Alexa Bliss defeated Bayley to become the new RAW Women's Champion last night at WWE Payback, and the Wicked Witch of the WWE created a little bit of history in the process. After hitting Bayley with a DDT to pick up the win, Bliss became the first woman in history to win both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships in the post-draft era.
It did not take long for Bliss to make an impact on the flagship show, becoming the first individual to win a championship on a new home following the superstar shake up. Bliss moved to RAW on April 10, immediately forcing herself into the RAW Women's Championship picture, and less than three weeks later she is now in possession of the belt.
Bliss was the second ever SmackDown Women's Champion and the first individual to hold that belt on two separate occasions. Her first run started at WWE TLC 2016, when Bliss drove inaugural champion Becky Lynch through a table to win a Tables match. Bliss dropped the title to Naomi at Elimination Chamber 2017, but won it back against Lynch when Naomi was forced to vacate the title due to injury.
Many members of the WWE Universe were surprised when Bliss was called up to the main roster as part of the 2016 WWE Draft, but Little Miss Bliss has gone on to prove the doubters very, very wrong.
