...and it could happen now.

It perhaps says everything that this fan tempered his excitement for havoc-wreaking bad ass Shayna Baszler from Raw with a creeping sense of dread that she might become Alexa's plaything. Last year, Bliss was hypnotising Nia Jax and Reggie during her whistle-stop tour of barminess with Shayna, and Baszler could be next.

What if Shayna is about to revealed as Alexa's tool of destruction? What if her annihilation of Nia Jax was Bliss' twisted way of eradicating a title rival (Nia had been feuding with Flair too, don't forget) and controlling another enemy (Baszler) by preying upon her mind?

Sounds horrific, doesn't it? The story could be fun if WWE's recent track record with Bliss, dolls and all that other mayhem wasn't so spotty, but Baszler needs a title push. She definitely doesn't need to become someone else's puppet as part of some sub-Goosebumps level story.
