As my colleague, Rohit Nath said in the Sportskeeda Chat during the course of the show- 'Any WWE Superstar who goes babyface is automatically portrayed as dumb and extremely gullible.' Alexa Bliss had an edge when she was a heel that was great to see, that got her over to a point where she could turn babyface. And now that she's a babyface again, the sight of Otis and cake is enough to distract her.

I mean I know Mandy Rose had to pick up the win in this match in such a manner that Alexa Bliss was protected during the business, but honestly speaking, I don't think that showcasing The Goddess or indeed anyone at all as being so gullible is a good idea. Such moments disrupt the show in a bad way and can make it extremely silly.

Anyone who's been a wrestling fan has probably been often asked how we can enjoy something so silly, and segments like these just continue to take away everything that made a character cool in the first place.
