WWE News: Reason Why Alexa Bliss Squashed Bayley In Their Championship Match?
Jun 16, 2017 at 3:33 PM
At Extreme Rules PPV, Alexa Bliss claimed a dominant win over the contender, Bayley. It was the first-time ever Kendo Stick on a Pole match for the Raw women’s championship. Little Miss Bliss gained the upper hand smashing the kendo sticks on the Hugger for multiple times and finally pinning her clean.
Some of the fans were indeed shocked with this victory in which Bayley was literally squashed by the champion. For the past several weeks, Alexa Bliss has been the dominant one over her challenger and now also got a sweet finish to it.
There are at least a couple of reasons behind this decision from the creative. First of all, they wanted to end the feud between Bliss and Bayley on a definite note. This sends Bayley at the back of the line, for now, while claiming the Raw Women’s title.
Also, the rumour mill is saying that the utter domination of the “wicked witch” was just to plant the seeds of a heel turn for Bayley. The entire storyline between these two revolved around whether Bayley will be able to get extreme. So, at some point, she will turn into a villain to prove everyone wrong.
This will also be the inducer for the inevitable Sasha Banks vs. Bayley feud around Summerslam. It is being stated that Sasha Banks is the one who will defeat Bliss for the title. Once that happens, Bayley will turn into a heel to start the feud. It will be an interesting storyline with a heel Bayley and a face Sasha.
In the meantime, Alexa Bliss will continue her championship reign. Her next opponent is going to be Nia Jax, supposedly. This match might happen at the Great Balls of Fire PPV.
The legendary Jim Ross compared the champion as one of the legends in the roster for her charm. Comparing her with Buddy Rogers the veteran commentator stated,
“I compared Alexa Bliss’ personality and ‘feel’ to that of the late. great Buddy Rogers who was an undersized blonde who had miles of charisma and who people put their eyes on the minute that the original ‘Nature Boy’ walked through the curtain.
Alexa has that same ‘I can’t take my eyes off of her’ persona or so it seems. She and Bayley had a tough assignment with Kendo stick stipulation but they persevered”.
