10 WWE Superstars Set For A Big Push Following WrestleMania 37

3. Alexa Bliss

Per Fightful Select, WWE's decision to put Randy Orton over The Fiend was a last-minute one. Bray Wyatt was originally supposed to fell Orton, sending The Viper of television for a while, before Vince McMahon changed his mind on a whim. The wrestlers were reportedly as baffled as everyone else.

This suggests that WWE had no long-term plan for Wyatt, Orton, and Alexa Bliss heading into WrestleMania 37, which shouldn't come as a surprise. WWE's booking room is a scatterbrained, disorganised place. Still, the finish points towards bigger things for Bliss, who may or may not be moving away from Wyatt after costing him the bout.

The Fiend's loremasters have suggested that Wyatt caught a glimpse of Sister Abigail in Bliss, as the infantilised, black-clad former champion stared him down with goop dripping from her features. If they don't split, it may emerge that Bliss now has control over The Fiend, when everyone assumed it was the other way around. If nothing else, this guarantees Alexa's focus over the next few months.

It'll be dreadful, universe-breaking fare, like everything else Fiend-related, but it will give Bliss a bigger spotlight.
