In a bout announced on last week's Smackdown, Alexa Bliss was in action against Naomi. The two battled at No Mercy when Naomi substituted for the injured Smackdown Women's Champion Becky Lynch, and at that show, Naomi picked up the win.

This time, Bliss was looking to build some momentum heading into her rescheduled title match with Becky, which will take place in three weeks. The bout was a great contest, with Naomi pulling off some high-risk offense and Bliss playing a solid heel. The ending was a little abrupt, as Bliss knocked Naomi off the top rope and hit Twisted Bliss for the win, but the match still delivered.

After the bout, Bliss told Becky in a post-match interview that the fairy tale was over, and that she'd be taking the Smackdown Women's Title. So is it fair to say that at this point, both of the Women's Title feuds in WWE are better than both of the Heavyweight Title feuds?
