Alexa Bliss challenged then-RAW Women's Champion Bayley for the latter's title at WWE Payback 2017. This contest which lasted for 11:15 minutes, is regarded by many as one of the most important matches in Bliss' career--particularly due to the fact that "Five Feet of Fury" left an indelible mark in the business with her performance in the aforesaid match.
Yet another example of Bliss taking notes out of pro-wrestling legends' playbook, was that she chose to seek and destroy a specific body part of her foe--in this case, Bayley's trademark ponytail. Bliss pulled said ponytail every which way, and even stood on it while attempting a submission hold on The Huggable One.

More importantly though, what truly made Bliss stand out that night was the fact that she absolutely played the fans! Throughout her riveting contest with Bayley, Bliss found time to mock the fans who she claimed were crying as The Goddess of WWE beat up everyone's favorite babyface--Bayley...In the end, Bliss capped off her dominant performance with a DDT and pinfall win--capturing the RAW Women's Championship for the very first time...
