What is up with pro wrestling fans in Las Vegas? Either they'd been hitting the casino tables in the MGM Grand before the show and had a few too many alcoholic beverages, or they're just kinda' into being abused. How else could their delight at being chastised by Alexa Bliss be explained?

Congratulations, Vegas, you almost ruined what should have been a special moment for Bliss.

That moment deserved boos. Alexa's nifty performance as a tearful little girl living out her dreams by making WWE history, only to turn on a dime and spitefully throw fan support back in everyone's faces, should have been followed by intense heat. Such is the modern wrestling world, it seems.

The live crowd cheering should perhaps be regarded as a sign that Alexa has come a long way on the mic since that dreadful 'This Is Your Life' guff last year. Yes, let's call it that, settle on Bliss successfully suckering fans in so hard they simply enjoyed her confident snarl and know she had to remain heel for Asuka at 'Mania.
