There has been some justifiable criticism leveled at Alexa Bliss for her in-ring performance, but she certainly is comfortable on the microphone.

Bliss blasted Bayley and countered the fans with their charming “What?” chants before mocking the Raw Women’s Champion to her face, reveling in the possibility of beating Bayley for her title at Payback Sunday in her hometown, ending her Cinderella fantasy.

It wasn’t a set-the-world-on-fire promo, but Alexa showed that she’s capable of handling herself with the mic while putting Bayley down. Hopefully, their match at Payback will deliver, because it would be nice to see Bliss back up her talking in the ring.
