10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Alexa Bliss

Fastlane 2021 was a bizarre one.

Look at the shot above. That's Alexa Bliss working a match with Randy f'n Orton, and there are hundreds of eager little faces watching from home via WWE's ThunderDome. Yeah, the closed door era was weird. It kept the company ticking along, sure, but it was very, very weird.

At Fastlane, Randy struggled to get his hands on Bliss so he could RKO her straight to hell. Instead, Alexa taunted Orton with supernatural shenanigans before she shockingly picked up a PLE win over Randy thanks to Bray Wyatt's melted 'Fiend'. What was that about weird again?

It's pretty incredible that Bliss holds a pay-per-view victory over a major WWE star like Randy Orton. This isn't something Triple H's creative team will drop into conversation during Orton's recent return period after Survivor Series: WarGames 2023.

Imagine it: Michael Cole just casually recalling that time Alexa scored a PLE win over Randy on commentary.
