Alexa Bliss made her big return at the Royal Rumble. The former RAW Women's Champion received a massive pop from the Indianapolis crowd. However, Bliss failed to win the career-altering match.

During a recent episode of BroDown on Backstage Pass, Vince Russo criticized WWE's booking of Alexa Bliss. The industry veteran specifically brought up Alexa's match from SmackDown, noting the company should've booked a sit-down interview segment with Little Miss Bliss instead of putting her in a match.

"She's wearing a jacket that says 'Fiend' with friend in it. Why not start there? A sit down interview with Alexa Bliss about the last two years and about the death of Bray Wyatt and the impact... Why not start there? See that's where tears mean something because you know, if they start talking about what he meant to her, you know, she's going to break. Why not start there?" [From 39:00 onwards]

Alexa didn't appear on WWE television for two years before the Royal Rumble. She was moved to SmackDown in the aftermath of the PLE. The Goddess beat Candice LeRae to qualify for the Elimination Chamber this week on the blue brand. Fans will have to wait to see how Bliss fares in the match.

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
