WWE SummerSlam 2021: 3 things that shouldn’t happen and 3 things that should - 2 massive returns, John Cena beats Roman Reigns to make history

#3 Shouldn’t happen at SummerSlam 2021: Alexa Bliss in an underwhelming match

There’s only one real twisted Bliss 😈

At SummerSlam 2021, Alexa Bliss is scheduled to face Eva Marie, but we are still unsure why. Excuse the dark clouds of doubt hovering over the match, but can viewers really be blamed if we have not seen Marie wrestle in a singles match since returning to RAW? Her role has been chiefly limited to insulting Doudrop and taking credit for victories that she didn’t earn.

We hope that Eva Marie and Alexa Bliss will deliver a good match, as the latter can’t afford to be a part of a forgetful encounter in light of recent events. Her gimmick is inspired by one of the greatest minds to ever work in the wrestling business.

If Bliss is going to continue with that character, the least that the creative team can do is respect the incredible job she has done with this supernatural persona and honor former WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt's vision.

We might see Doudrop eventually align forces with Bliss at SummerSlam, a decision that will help both superstars in the future. Unless this feud miraculously leads to a jaw-dropping match. Alexa Bliss needs to pick up a dominant victory and put an end to this storyline at the upcoming pay-per-view.
