3. Ignorance Is Bliss
If anyone tells you that they predicted the exact events involving Alexa Bliss at Money in the Bank, they are likely bluffing. Bliss entered the Money in the Bank ladder match truly underestimated by the WWE Universe.
Popular picks included: Sasha Banks, Ember Moon, Becky Lynch, and Natalya. Despite all of Bliss’ accomplishments, she was still overlooked. When The Goddess unhooked the briefcase it became clear how perfect of a choice Bliss was to win the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Bliss has relished the spotlight in WWE since the brand split, and her cowardly persona was a perfect fit for the briefcase. The thought then became that Bliss could hold onto the briefcase for a while to give her a break from the title scene.
Then in shocking fashion, Bliss asserted herself (and the briefcase) into the Raw Women’s Championship match just as it looked like Rousey had the upper hand on Jax. Cleverly, Bliss eliminated Rousey as a threat first, before starting her assault on Jax.
There was nothing standing in Bliss’ way, as she finished off a battered Jax for the win. Bliss might be known for being Five Feet of Fury, but on this night she was larger than life.
The fact that Bliss was an excellent choice to win Money in the Bank, yet was still overlooked is what made both of her moments so special.
