10 Breakout Stars WWE Are Getting Badly Wrong
9. Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss is committing to her current role as Bray Wyatt's infantilised sex object/demon servant/f*cking I don't know ask the Twitter community with The Fiend avatars they're the ones that enjoy it, but one can only go so far forward with creative that is so fundamentally backwards.
In one way, she's fallen into a time-honoured WWE trap. By becoming such a robust and well-respected utility player, Bliss has traversed fairly seamlessly from being a headliner and multi-time Champion in the singles and tag ranks to being an objectified creature of confusion working for the whims of her horror movie magic boss.
Her real gaffers know she's good enough to bounce back from it too. "Imagine the babyface she'll be when she frees herself from The Fiend", they're probably speculating, as if she wasn't a babyface literally right now in the story she's in.
Your writer wasted years in the early 2000s screaming into the void about letting the wrestlers wrestle, but every now and then a performer comes along that is miscast so horrifically that it echoes internally every time they're on screen. Bliss is young and - if she even wants this life forever - still a few years short of her prime, but the road away from this current incarnation may be an arduous one.
