5 Ups & 7 Downs From WWE Raw (Jan 31)

4. More Televised Therapy

When Kane and Daniel Bryan had to go to anger management counselling with Dr. Shelby, those segments served the purpose of bringing the duo together as a team. Those segments were also wildly entertaining.

Whatever the purpose is for the Alexa Bliss therapy sessions, one thing is clear: they are far from entertaining. The multi-week story isn’t entertaining or interesting or captivating or even just good. It’s filler.

Oh sure, some have noticed how Bliss has slowly ditched her childlike getup and is dressing more and more like a normal person. But to put it simply, WWE is a company that once no-sold Vince McMahon getting blown up in a limousine. They could have just as easily had Bliss come back as herself and do 30 seconds of exposition about how she underwent therapy to get straightened out and is now back to being the Goddess of WWE.

Do we really need week after week of this dull, pointless stuff to trace Alexa’s return to normalcy step-by-step? No, we really don’t… except that WWE has three hours to fill every Monday.
