Great on their own terms, neither Alexa Bliss nor Carmella needed each other to be the other show's Champion during their divisive reigns with the respective Women's Titles. Not least after bad booking and Vince McMahon living down to expectations had failed them both.

Alexa Bliss was scripted to bully and abuse Nia Jax in the run-up to the extended sh*tkicking she took at WrestleMania, but won the feud two months later after using a Money In The Bank briefcase she scooped earlier that night to batter the 'Irresistible Force' and 'Baddest Woman On The Planet' Ronda Rousey during their own spirited scrap.

She was also blonde. This becomes important later.

Meanwhile, Carmella's cash-in on Charlotte was intentionally cheap, but her victory over 'The Queen' was disconcertingly dominant. As were her ill-gotten victories over the newly-idiotic Asuka in the months that followed. 'The Princess Of Staten Island' wasn't crafted to become credible, but her opponents were suffocating under the strain of her reign.

She was also blonde. This becomes important later.

SummerSlam brought humongous change, setting all the wheels in motion for the historic WrestleMania main event between Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. Between those two pay-per-views, Lynch became 'The Man', but still had the task of removing Charlotte and everything she represented from the company's summit.

She was also blonde. That was important, in the end.
