12 WWE Survivor Series 2017 Impulse Reactions

7. Best Of The Best

Alexa Bliss has had a blinding year or so on pay-per-view, even if her ascension has occasionally resulted in the total collapse of a division underneath her.

Comprehensive victories in matches and feuds over Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Bayley allowed Bliss to highlight a fabulous point never once alluded to by announce teams before the match - she's Four Horsewomen kryptonite. More than winning both red and blue Women's Titles as her opponent had, Bliss was afforded confidence that she could slay the 'Queen' because she'd done just to that to her superlative super-friends.

On this night, it wasn't to be, but there'll be wars again between the two that will highlight why they're currently booked as the best in class. Alexa's jaw-jacking was typically on point, whilst Charlotte has unexpected shone as a sympathetic babyface despite how domineering her character was as a heel.

The pair's match risked fading into the background of a loaded card, but an excellent stretch of offence for Bliss late on added fabulous drama to the clash. In hindsight, it was a shame the battle only gave the winner a point on the board instead of an inflated position on the card. This had all the makings of a big-time WrestleMania title match. Hopefully one day they'll get to do it.
