10 Things We Learned From WWE Newcastle Live
3. Becky Is Over As Hell, But Alexa Isn't Quite There Yet
I was genuinely surprised at the fairly muted reaction to Alexa Bliss in Newcastle, given her current status as the top heel on SmackDown. Her feud with Becky Lynch has been built sensibly and intensely, but Bliss' relative newness may have worked against her here.
For her part, Becky was incredibly over, and was in pure babyface mode here, hugging just about everybody on the front row during her way to and from the ring. She picked up the clean win and retained her SmackDown Women's Championship, scoring a submission victory over the number one contender.
