2017 WWE Superstar Shake-Up Ranked - From Worst To Best

by John Bills

1. Alexa Bliss

When Alexa Bliss was managing Blake and Murphy on NXT, the odds on her becoming a multi-time champion within a year of arriving on the main roster would have been obscenely long. The 'Wicked Witch of WWE' has overachieved dramatically since the brand split, and is the only women to win both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships on more than one occasion.

There is more to it than that as well. Bliss has been booked extremely strong on the main roster. It can be argued that no one on RAW or SmackDown has been protected as comprehensively as the current RAW Women’s Champion.

Bliss swiftly defeated Bayley for that title before vanquishing The Hugger again, doing irreparable damage to Bayley in the process. Alexa briefly lost her title to Sasha Banks, before calling out The Boss’s inability to defend the championship - proving herself right in the process. She then told Mickie James that she was over the hill, defeating James twice to ram that point home.

Alexa Bliss is the most dominant female performer on the main roster right now. In 2015, that seemed entirely improbable. No performer has enjoyed as much success as Bliss since the Superstar Shake-Up.
