Over the last year, Alexa Bliss benefited from being on SmackDown Live and took full advantage of the comparatively more creative storylines that the brand produced. The La Luchadora storyline (that eventually ushered in Mickie James’ return to WWE) was compelling and actually, made sense.
Charlotte Flair, on the other hand, has just suffered from constant misfortune. While she always had great matches on Raw, the storylines were lacking in well, stories. Now that she’s on SmackDown Live, she’s involved in the awful Welcoming Committee angle, which has been dreadful to watch.

Yes, this is not entirely Charlotte Flair’s fault, but Alexa Bliss just has better facials, expressions and command over the microphone, which inspires writers to write better stories for her.
While we're certainly not undermining the role that Charlotte Flair has played in the development of the Women's Division from scratch, the truth is Alexa Bliss may just be a better performer.
