Should we consider the fact that there weren’t any mid-match flames, or malfunctioning equipment, or Lilly appearances as a positive development?

Regardless of what didn’t happen, Nia Jax versus Alexa Bliss was just an odd, strange match, with Jax selling for tiny Bliss like she was swinging cinderblocks. It just looked ridiculous to see her punching and Nia falling down like she was punch-drunk.

And then after all that, the match ended in a DQ when Reginald interfered… because of course that’s what happened.

Can’t wait for Sunday’s match pitting Bliss against Shayna Baszler… once she recovers from her horror movie attack last week. Oh wait, no, we’re not looking forward to that. Sorry.
