Professional wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze who is a former three times WWE Women’s champion recently talked about the RAW XXX special episode of WWE and talked about her own appearance. She also discussed lack of women legends in the show.
Fans had a lot of expectations from the special episode of RAW XXX. It was the first special episode of a free television show under Triple H. WWE never failed to deliver in any of their previous special shows and since it was the first one under Triple H, obviously fans had a lot of expectations from it.
Alundra Blayze Discusses Lack Of Female Legends In RAW XXX
But unfortunately, it was nothing more than just another continuation of Monday Night RAW, just with some legends on the backstage playing poker and walking around. Most of the legends had nothing to do at all. They were really badly booked and somehow it felt like they were never needed in the show.
The situation of the women’s legends was even worse. Honestly there was none. The only woman Legend that appeared on RAW XXX was Alundra Blayze and she was also seen on the backstage only. WWE was terribly criticized for treating their legends in this way on the much promoted special show.
Alundra Blayze who is a former three times WWE Women’s champion recently spoke on the Just ALYX program where she talked about the RAW XXX special episode of WWE and talked about her own appearance. She also discussed lack of women legends in the show. She said;
“It was an honor to be called. They did call me a month or two before that and asked me to go. Then like three weeks before, they said, ‘Oh, schedule change.’ And I’m used to that because they always did that. They change it a month ahead, three weeks, two nights before, and the night of the show. They always change the card.
“Then they called me two nights before and said, ‘Blaze, can you still come?’ I’m like, what? Oh my gosh, let me see. So you don’t know going in, and you kind of negotiate beforehand on what are we doing. They told me they were gonna have me play poker. And I’m like, I don’t know how to play poker. They were like, ‘Blayze, it’s scripted.’ And I’m like, Oh, that’s right.
“My thought when I did see a little bit of that was like, what is all of this? And then I started thinking, well, I was the only woman legend there. That was an honor. I thought maybe they’d be praising that, at least. You know, having one of their older peers there.
“But I didn’t see any of that. If they were so upset, why wouldn’t they say? Why did Blayze not have anything better for her than just a poker game? So it goes both ways. I guess to have one there is great. But then again, it could have been more than a poker game. I’m just saying.”
