10 WWE Acts That Are Running Out Of Steam

3. Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss' injury concerns haven't held her back in late-2018, but extended promo sections have hindered more than helped (as they have for almost everybody forced into them) for the most part, and a planned talk show doesn't exactly promise a Piper's Pit for the modern era when few are permitted to improvise as the 'Hot Scot' did so well.

Bliss is incredibly talented for somebody so young, and permanent shelving due to her concussion issues would be a tragic end to a still-blossoming career, but WWE owe her more than the Women's Division irritant role she's most recently been saddled with.

It's derivative anyway - Paige wasn't only posted to women's matches on SmackDown Live and Stephanie McMahon hasn't ever shied away from engaging with all talents as an authority figure - but if Bliss is only there to bother Bayley and Sasha Banks, it's perhaps better she's not there at all until time hopefully heals her various wounds.
