10 Things We Learned From Post-Extreme Rules WWE Raw (June 5)
8. This Is Her Life
Lost in a (deserved) torrent of criticism for how the storyline has damaged Bayley, praise is due for Alexa Bliss, who has yet again confounded expectations and earned her place atop the women's division on Monday Night Raw.
Exactly as she had done on SmackDown Live!, Bliss has proven too detestable to ignore, and has yet again backed it up in the ring with good matches against everybody she's so far had to face.
Following a great vignette with Kurt Angle in which the General Manager lambasted Alexa as a proxy for the writing team over last week's shambolic 'This Is Your Life' promo ("That was one of the worst segments in the history of Raw"), Bliss managed to alienate the entire division and then took a shellacking from Nia Jax in one of Nia's better televised efforts.
Bliss got out alive, turning her rivals against one another to sneak away with a disqualification loss and leave Mickie James and Dana Brooke to take a kicking from the frustrated Jax in the aftermath.
Short of both Bayley and for some reason, Sasha Banks, Bliss doesn't have one strong face to deal with, so the idea that she's infuriated the entire division should carry her along well before 'The Hugger's eventual return.
