WWE: 5 possible challengers for Becky Lynch’s Raw Women’s Title
4. Alexa Bliss
Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss go way back. Little Miss Bliss presented the inaugural SmackDown Women’s Champion with her first major test back when she was the Steampunk-inspired Lasskicker.
Lynch never managed to get one up on her and she quietly slid out of the title picture. Bliss’ ascension as the top heel on the brand and 2-time women’s champion effectively halted all the momentum Becky gained after the brand split. She didn’t recover and make a mark as the face of the division until last year, following the emergence of The Man persona.
To date, Alexa Bliss stands as the biggest skeleton in her closet, the one woman she could never best. If we’ve learned anything about The Man since SummerSlam, it’s that she never forgets. It must eat at her that Bliss has handed her some of her most humiliating losses.
Moreover, it had to be hard to watch Alexa achieve things she dreamed of while Lynch could barely make it on tv for a while. That’s what makes this potential feud so interesting. Reuniting them after Becky rose to the top of the company can go in so many different directions.
Alexa Bliss has the most ammunition out of any of the women on Raw to use against her. She has legitimate bragging rights. Bliss stifled her first title reign, and to add insult to injury she already achieved more than Lynch. She was the first woman to become both Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion long before Becky Two Belts went viral.
If The Man wants to prove, once and for all, that she is the best, she has to eventually face Alexa Bliss again.
