2019 has been a very different year for Alexa Bliss on the main roster. It's been the first since her arrival in 2016 where she hasn't won a singles title on any brand and it's clear that after a couple of big concussion issues, she took a step back from the main event in the Women's scene, even though she could have been a clear-cut challenger to Becky Lynch.

Instead, WWE chose to go a different direction with her and paired her with the rather underutilized and forgotten Nikki Cross. Before pairing with Bliss, Cross was sitting in catering while Sanity was all split up and nothing was going on with her creatively.

While the duo was first a heel tag team, they eventually changed directions and Bliss started showing babyface traits for the first time on the main roster. Slowly but surely, the team turned babyface and they're now on Friday Night SmackDown where they are very much a babyface team. It was a good and much-needed change for Bliss after dominating for a long time.
