Alexa Bliss factors into that whole 'Uncle Howdy' mentally torturing Bray Wyatt stuff too. She's been showing signs of her old dark persona again over on Raw, but WWE hasn't pulled the trigger on anything involving Bray. Could that change in Texas this weekend, or will they take the soft approach?

A loss to Bianca Belair could be the final push Alexa's character needs to go full-on crazy and embrace what's happening with 'Howdy'. Similar to other belts defended on the card, there's just no way Bianca is dropping that Raw Women's Title here either; not before 'Mania.

Bliss, as a supernatural-tinged gimmick, doesn't need straps anyway.

This actually has the potential to be a killer match if WWE keeps the gimmicky sh*t in the background until it's over. They'll use bells and whistles for Wyatt vs. LA Knight, so Belair vs. Alexa doesn't need flickering lights and all that stuff. They can get away with a straight-up match, then get down to business with Bliss afterwards.
