#2 Alexa Bliss cannot walk out of Elimination Chamber as Champion
Trending
While the tag division seems a little weak right now, the women’s division is incredibly strong. And I say that being one of the many fans feeling a little off put by the draft. When it comes to the new talent, Raw ended up with Charlotte, Sasha, Nia and eventually Bayley, while Smackdown took Becky and Alexa.
Raw seemed to be the place to shine if you were an up and comer, while the idea, at least in the fans’ minds, was that Becky, Naomi and Alexa would be fed to Nikki and Natalya. We thought that, and we were wrong.

The Smackdown Live Women’s Division has been fantastic. Great technical work from Becky and Nattie, an insane amount of athleticism from Naomi, and some strong vet support has been coming in from Nikki and, now from Mickie James as well.
This is a division that has delivered again and again. We just left the Alexa-Becky feud, one that ended at TLC with a pretty brutal tables match, crowning Alexa Bliss the Smackdown Women’s Champion.
Smackdown has been the brand to give the younger talent the ball and run with it, and Alexa has done just that.
Alexa, not even being on the main roster for a full year, is already a champion. She has a bright future ahead of her. So having a short reign wouldn’t hurt her that much. Not only that, but Naomi has improved leaps and bounds since she first came in as a Funkadactyl.
Some even believe that she’s the most athletic woman on the roster. Now, this won’t be Naomi’s first title, should she walk out Sunday as champion. She was, in fact, the inaugural FCW Divas champion.
She’s yet to capture gold in her six years on the main roster, however, and she’s almost thirty years old. Nobody knows how long she’ll be around for but it’s fair to say that she needs at least one reign under her belt before she calls it quits.
