Here's the match video of Alexa Bliss vs Asuka from last night's episode of RAW. When this match was announced on Friday, I knew that they would introduce Alexa as The Fiend. They never said that. I guess it was supposed to be a big surprise. Earlier in the show, Asuka appeared on Alexa's Playhouse and Alexa seemed to have an invisible friend. That was awful and this match wasn't any better. The arena goes dark and they go to commercial. When we return, Alexa looks completely different. So obviously she's The Fiend. But commentary is slow to pick up on this. Remember when Goofy would say "Gawrsh" all the time. Vince McMahon is telling them to do that. What they should have said is "It's The Fiend. It's not Alexa anymore." Then it would have made more sense. They were told to be wishy washy. And the funniest part is Alexa didn't even do the Sister Abigail properly. Asuka sold it like a champ. There was a lot of stupid stuff on RAW. It's like they think up stuff and it looks good on paper. But it isn't properly executed. They should probably go back to basics. But Vince doesn't think he is producing a wrestling show anymore. That's why he comes up with all this junk. And what upsets fans more than anything is treating your double champ as a jobber. I wouldn't have a problem with this if they built up to it. But remember Alexa hadn't wrestled since November. So it was a bad idea poorly executed. Check out the video for yourself.
