Alexa Bliss has just won the WWE Raw women’s title at the Money in the Bank PPV event. It was the night where she stole the spotlight once again.
The Goddess of the WWE reign supreme by winning the MITB briefcase. She waited for the least amount of time to cash it in on the former champion, Nia Jax.
The MITB briefcase helped her to deliver a beatdown on both Nia and Ronda Rousey during their title match. Bliss then claimed her championship match against right away against the Samoan Superstar.
A DDT and the Twisted Bliss off the top rope were enough to put away Jax. The pinfall win earned Alexa Bliss her fifth Women’s Championship in the WWE.
But she did not get enough time to celebrate her success on this week’s WWE Raw. The general manager of the show informed us about her next championship defence. Nia Jax owes a contractual rematch against the champion. So she is invoking it at the next PPV event of the WWE.
WWE.com has now officially sanctioned the match between Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax. Here are the updates from the official website of the company,
“At WWE Extreme Rules, Nia Jax will get her Raw Women’s Championship rematch against the very Superstar who stole the coveted title away from her at WWE Money in the Bank, her one-time “best friend” Alexa Bliss.
Find out who will emerge victorious when The Irresistible Force collides with the immovable Goddess at WWE Extreme Rules, streaming live on Sunday, July 15, at 7 ET/4 PT on the award-winning WWE Network!”

These two are no strangers to each other. Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax are the two former best friends. They formed team Rude that helped to establish Little Miss Bliss’ legacy on Monday Night Raw. But the multi-time champion turned her back on Jax to set up a rivalry.

They have the first PPV match of their rivalry at this year’s Wrestlemania. The Irresistible Force dethroned ‘five-feet of fury’ from her championship reign at the biggest event of the year. But Alexa Bliss returned her the favour at the bygone MITB event.
It will be interesting to see whether Jax can retaliate against her former friend at Extreme Rules. Meanwhile, Ronda Rousey will get out of the title picture for now. Kurt Angle suspended her for 30 days after wrecking havoc on the flagship show.
