Hats off to Alexa Bliss, who showed a little more of her abilities Monday night, delivering an in-ring promo that served as evidence that she’s becoming more of a complete performer.

Bliss has given some strong promos/interviews in the past, so Monday’s mic time wasn’t a surprise, but she did a great job running down her Survivor Series opponent Natalya and expressing how unappreciated she felt when AJ Styles and Finn Balor got a “This is awesome” chant by staring at each other, but she didn’t get any such love from the fans.

It was a nice piece of work from the Raw Women’s Champion, which shows how far a superstar can come when you consider she was a smiling babyface just a little over two years ago with little time on the mic.

Now, Bliss is the kind of champion you want to see and want to see get beaten, but you can’t help but be entertained by her.
