Like right now.

Whilst it is cool to see that Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross are appreciative of the chance to be Women's Tag-Team Champions, it's hard to stomach WWE's abandonment of the real story. Don't forget that everyone, from fellow wrestlers to announcers, pointed out to Nikki in promos that Alexa's history when it comes to friends is checkered.

The pair were cast that way originally on purpose. The clear suggestion was that Bliss was using Cross to fight battles for her and bluffing their friendship. That was obvious by Nikki's conflicted facial expressions in promos and Alexa's disingenuous smiles whenever Cross was grinning like the Cheshire Cat at her.

That story has been thrown by the wayside so WWE can spin some non-threatening solidarity story without acknowledging Bliss' witchy past. Go back and look at their first appearances as a team, then watch footage from the past few weeks. It's been a complete turnaround in presentation without explanation.
