Alexa Bliss has progressed immensely since her Raw debut. However, she was also entertaining on SmackDown Live. Arguably Bliss is the most versatile female wrestler in WWE. Similar to Charlotte she is excellent in the ring and as a heel character.

Bliss retained her championship at Extreme Rules against Nia Jax. Nevertheless, she has yet to outlast Ronda Rousey. In recent weeks Rousey finished her suspension and made her intentions clear. Kurt Angle scheduled Rousey to face Bliss at SummerSlam for the Raw Women's championship. She had an excellent showing against Alicia Fox, see video below.

Rousey has been hyped immensely since her debut. However, Bliss' efforts have been excellent. Therefore, considering her youth in the business, Rousey it unlikely to win at SummerSlam. It would be more beneficial to save this victory for the brand new women's PPV, Evolution. It would be more lucrative for WWE and their fans.
