6. Anything But Blissful

Credit to WWE writers for trying to keep Alexa Bliss front and center on WWE TV, but the Moment of Bliss talk show is not working at all.

The talk show has endured interruptions galore – which is normal for a wrestling talk show – but the segments themselves have been dull or pointless. Even Monday’s paint-by-numbers brawl between the Raw participants in the women’s Royal Rumble was somehow dull. All the women came out to get their say, a brawl broke out and they all fought backstage.

The End.

Considering this followed last week’s rare Paul Heyman appearance that was a snoozer (along with Otis Dozovic’s stalker debut), you’ve got a clunker of a segment. These talk shows only work with the right host, and Bliss just doesn’t seem to be the right person at this time.
