Why The Alexa Bliss Character Is WWE's Worst Current Creation

The gratitude in the introduction was as much to do with the value of time as anything else.

There are few resources as precious in one's life, and all of those thank yous were a partial acknowledgment of that. The choice you made to donate a few of your minutes to reading this was a kind one, and one that hopefully now feels justified. All time is valuable, making it all the more infuriating that WWE could waste so much of it.

The company greedily gobbles up three hours of your life every Monday, and even then it feels like more. And all with such reckless abandon. Yes the Bliss character is a multifarious all-time-awful disasterpiece, but no, Bliss herself isn't beyond saving. Because when she's finally permitted to get back to being her best self, it'll just be scrubbed. Nobody will acknowledge her magic powers, the goo, Lilly, none of it.

Bray Wyatt or Shayna Baszler or Randy Orton or whoever might pass her in one of those spotlit corridors one time, and there'll be a quick stare, but then it'll be straight on to whatever b*llocks they've got cooked up that night instead. Twitter will temporarily explode with fans of a certain age treating this brief minuscule reminder of an abandoned past as "great storytelling" or "longterm booking" despite WWE being mostly allergic to the concepts since the year 2000. Think of the weirdest kid you went to school with, and why they were weird and why you'd ideally not want to bump into them now. If WWE were even a remote reflection of reality, these three and basically everybody else could and should run a mile in the opposite direction. But it isn't, and they won't.

WWE's only blessing is a curse this current Bliss character herself would be proud of - nobody gives a single f*cking sh*t about any of it. This is content to consume, not wrestling to enjoy.

The Network's good value at a tenner a month, but think less about how you spend your money and more on how you spend your time. They want that more than the cash anyway, and the Alexa Bliss Character Is WWE's Worst Current Creation because they've somehow conspired to ensure one of their biggest stars doesn't deserve either.
