Alexa Bliss wasn't so smart when a backstage camera caught her bad mouthing friend Nia Jax.

In the lead up to their potential match for the Raw Women's Title at Wrestlemania 34, Alexa Bliss and Mickie James were caught backstage talking trash about their alleged friend, Nia Jax.

In the conversation caught on camera, Bliss said that Jax was just happy to carry her bags and walk behind her. She also said that why would she (Bliss) be friends with someone like Jax, implying that she was too beautiful to be seen with the unconventional figure of Jax.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

It was hard to listen to Bliss and James body-shame Jax, but that was the impetus of the feud. It was also heartbreaking to see Jax's reaction of being crushed by the conversation. But her sadness quickly turned to rage.

It made things more personal and it made the moment that Jax toppled Bliss all the more satisfying. Jax had been lead astray by Bliss, as the small one had primarily used Jax to fight her battles and get her out of tough situations she talked herself into.

Body Image is a topic that is tough to walk around in a current WWE storyline but it garnered the appropriate reactions for both women. Had Bliss used more derogatory words to describe Jax, than things would have gone too far?
