The answers are Alexa Bliss and Carmella, though if you were a casual observer, you would be hard pressed to determine which is which, exactly.

They are 1990s teen movie prom queens. The female heels of WWE are manipulative. They are insincere. They are - loathe though I am to write this word, but it’s impossible to ignore - bitchy.
