We were having the Moment of Bliss talk-show segment on WWE Raw, last night. Alexa Bliss was back onboard hosting this show since she has been absent from in-ring competition for the past four months. A verbal encounter broke out where her guest Ronda Rousey wanted the next challenge over the championship. Se specifically wanted Sasha Banks since these two never met in a one-on-one capacity.

Sasha Banks was quickly out on WWE Raw to capitalize on the opportunity. But Nia Jax was also lurking behind since she has some unfinished business with Ronda Rousey. This set up a singles contest on WWE Raw with a heavy stipulation added to it. The winner gets a shot at the WWE Raw women’s championship at Royal Rumble.

Tamina was present at the ringside during this matchup on WWE Raw trying to give the upper hand to Nia Jax. Nia went for a count-out by putting Sasha Banks into the barricade through a MILITARY PRESS DROP! But The Boss made her way to the ring and neutralized Tamina with a drop-kick. She pulled off a Hurricurana followed by the Bank Statement. Nia Jax had no option but to tap out to it.

With this win, Sasha Banks will now challenge Ronda Rousey at Royal Rumble for the WWE Raw women’s championship. As for Alexa Bliss, she competed one last time on TV at the Hell in a Cell PPV event. Afterward, a career-threatening injury scare broke out regarding her. We have reported several times that she was losing senses in her arms that could have forced her to retire.

Thankfully, that is not the case as she has come back to training sessions at the WWE Performance Center. WWE has also been using her on TV be it on vignettes or some chat sessions or in a managerial role. Last night marked such a segment where Alexa Bliss debuted her own talk show named Moment of Bliss.

It signified that there’s still a long road to recovery for her, moving forward. We guess that WWE continued using her in non-wrestling capacity since she can’t be back to action. But her presence itself is big news for the worldwide fans that she’s having. Hopefully, she will be there to compete at the Royal Rumble match.
