The four-way title program that is the Raw Women's division was in dire need of a Shake-Pp. Prior to the announcement of the roster moves, Sasha Banks turning heel on Bayley seemed to be the most obvious solution. While that may still be the direction they go - and tonight indicated it will be - new life was injected into the scene in the form of Alexa Bliss.

The two-time, two-time SmackDown Women's champion is bursting with personality. For what few deficiencies she still displays in her ring work, Bliss has quickly become one of the most entertaining characters on either show. She's mastered the art of the crowd-controlling promo and is exactly what Raw needed to break up the monotony.

Although obviously one of the mainstays on the Monday show will be jumping ship - the most prevalent rumors have it being Charlotte - Alexa's addition to the title picture brings a freshness that the ladies involved, regardless of their immense popularity, were sorely lacking.

In addition to what she offers from a match and promo perspective, Alexa - especially the eventual face version - is a merchandise mover, and that's something that WWE will always covet.

This was a great move for both Bliss and Raw.
