10 Reasons NOT To Give Up On WWE Raw

2. Alexa Bliss’ Gimmick Work

Take a bow, Alexa Bliss.

This possession character Bliss is working as part of the 'Fiend' narrative is, again, so perfectly Vince McMahon. It's hammy, is very Goosebumps and might not have a satisfying conclusion, but it's giving Alexa an opportunity to show what she's capable of in a featured spot.

That's a good thing, because she was dying a death as Nikki Cross' coffee-drinking buddy last year. The creepy little girl-meets-twisted vehicle for Bray Wyatt's menace gimmick she's rocking right now is a riot. Better yet, there's more to come from Bliss, and she's clearly loving every second.

WWE could definitely keep this ticking along until after WrestleMania and branch Alexa off into her own thing separate from Wyatt. Then, perhaps she could enlist another wrestler (someone from NXT, maybe?) to go for Drew McIntyre's title; that'd keep her in a featured spot and give a new face some automatic importance.
