WWE NXT Live Philadelphia: 11 Interesting Observations

9. Alexa Bliss May Be NXT's Most Underrated Wrestler

Sorry, failed to grab a really great shot of Alexa Bliss. Picture or no picture, though, the former fitness model was fantastic as she challenged Bayley for the NXT Women's Championship. Arguably the most underrated wrestler on the NXT roster, Bliss has blossomed into a brilliant heel. She is fierce and relentless in her attack. Better yet, she has mastered the role of the heel from an in-ring charisma standpoint. She flips her hair, berates the crowd and arrogantly and flippantly assaults the popular babyface. And when it comes time to take her comeuppance, she does it as well as anyone, bumping around the ring and throwing the temper tantrum when necessary. Her match with Bayley was one of the best on the card and while a lot of the credit should go to the champion who is, without a shadow of doubt the most complete female performer in WWE, Bliss as equally as great. So much so that Triple H and NXT Creative should consider catapulting her back into title contention rather than wasting her considerable skills.
