The heart of the matter
In a recent post on his blog, former WWE announcer and Hall of Famer Jim Ross compared current WWE RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss to the late, great WWE legend Buddy Rogers. Jim Ross stated:
“I compared Alexa Bliss’ personality and ‘feel’ to that of the late. great Buddy Rogers who was an undersized blonde who had miles of charisma and who people put their eyes on the minute that the original ‘Nature Boy’ walked through the curtain.
Alexa has that same ‘I can't take my eyes off of her’ persona or so it seems. She and Bayley had a tough assignment with Kendo stick stipulation but they persevered”.
The comment came immediately after Bliss’ title defence match against former champion Bayley. Bliss left the ring victorious after thrashing Bayley with a kendo stick in their match at Extreme Rules.

What’s next?
After the conclusion of the most recent episode of Monday Night RAW, it would seem that Bliss’ feud with Bayley is finally over and that the Hugger is officially out of the title picture. However, Nia Jax is the newest opponent for Little Miss Bliss, and we may see a match between the two at RAW’s next PPV, Great Balls of Fire.
Author’s take
Jim Ross’ comparison is on the spot, and there is no better comparison for Alexa Bliss. Rogers was a short, blonde wrestler who made the fans turn their heads every time he entered the ring, the same can be said for Bliss and her magnetic personality.
