Think about it. Becky will gain much more sympathy and her chasing the title will make the crowd be behind her until she takes the title away from Alexa either at Royal Rumble or Fast Lane.
Another scenario is Alexa feuds with Nikki and Nikki gets the title at WM.
The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
She's done it :drose. After several months of excellent heel work, and being the best booked woman on the show, Alexa was rightfully rewarded with the Women's Championship. I am quite pleased by this result. She has come a long way from blowing glitter and smiling on NXT, to quickly putting herself in the best heel conversation. You may all rejoice and bask in her greatness :curry.

Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
The match was…..rough, I guess would be the best word. I mean the last 5 minutes were good but the stuff before that just seemed to drag.
And as a huge Becky fan, obviously my heart hurts, lol. But I’ve got no problem with Alexa being champion. Becky is great in the chase position and Alex is great at being a bitch, so I’ve got no problem with the feud continuing from here.
Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
Happy for Alexa, she's a fantastic heel and deserves this 100%. Becky kinda lost me these past few weeks with her cornball promos, hopefully they can work on tweaking her character a little now.

Agreed. Hopefully, Becky loses the rematch, and Alexa goes into Wrestlemania as the strong heel champion to face Nikki. Her reign was incredibly underwhelming, so putting the belt on Alexa was best for business. It gives credibility to the title, as it simultaneously (and rightfully) crowns the strongest woman on the show.
Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
Everrything was good, except Alexa´s Talking Smack promo. A brief "Love your mama, overwhelmed to be champion" routine is fine even for a heel, but she should have never given Becky credit and say she was surprised to win. That went against everything she said over the last three months and was a bad break of character.

Renee Young: You got to give credit to Becky Lynch
(Alexa goes back into kayfabe)
Alexa: I'm sorry, Becky? I owe this to Becky? No. No No No. I was supposed to be champion last time I faced her. I should have already had the title. I don't owe anything to Becky.
She got beat down 90% of the feud. Won her first title defense dirty against the Heel. Loses table match clean and title. I'm surprised she gets any reaction at all. I'm starting to wish she stayed on raw. She'd always lose too Charlotte, but at least Charlotte is on Becky's level wrestling wise. They would probably main event a Raw too. Alexa can't sell shit, you she that pumphandle suplex tonight bleh. I love Becky, but i'm getting tired of her shit booking. I don't even want too watch her anymore.
It's a sad day Thanks Vince, Dunn, former Nxt Writer..

Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
I don't see one good reason for this booking decision. Even if you're a bliss mark, do you really think this was a good idea? Does this feel like a big deal for you?

Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
My only reaction to the comments in this thread is this:
People who think Alexa's going into WrestleMania as a strong heel champion :lol
No, folks. Alexa's either doing one of the following things IMO:
1) Dropping it to Nikki at the Rumble or somewhere in between the Rumble and Mania
2) Dropping it back to Becky at the Rumble
Alexa will have her time in the sun but she's going to be a transitional champ. Becky vs. Nikki is the money match for WrestleMania, and in my opinion is likely going to be revolving around the fact that BECKY is actually the the mystery attacker and not Nattie.
For now, I'm happy that Bliss is champ... but nah. Nikki-Becky is where all the money is. And I'd guess that they'll have Becky get the title back, turn her heel, and drop it to Nikki thereafter.

Good point. That makes it easy to tie all the loose ends together. Alexa and Becky continue their title feud, while Nikki-Carmella-Natalya try to sort out the attacker and eventually the reveal is Jealous Becky (champion not captain). Makes a lot of sense and Smackdown writers have shown with the 3-0 Ellsworth angle that they have a long-term storyline in mind for their feuds. That was the best executed angle in a long time. It made perfect sense for Ellsworth to help Styles win. I know some people were unhappy, because the match was great, but some people would also have been upset had Ambrose lost clean.
Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
I think WWE noticed how great a character and promo Bliss is and how quickly the audience has taken to her and they're reconsidering where the money is at. America loves blondes; cosplay is more marketable than steampunk; and hate it all you want, but a Midwestern accent is more appealing to WWE's primary audience than an Irish one.
One a sidenote: is Alexa the first person to win an important title before they had an merch out?

it's not an important title and that's 100% why i'm so anti- this booking.
And how quickly the audience has taken to her? I know it's going to sound like im a mark for becky when i say this, but I'm not hearing THAT much when it comes to her entrance and her matches. Not enough to make a change in thought at least.
Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
Love Alexa and happy to see he with the title, but fuck me are some people actually suggesting a Nikki/Alexa solo match at Wrestlemania? That would fucking blow, wow, I'm glad you ain't wwe bookers, even they wouldn't do something like that. Becky's winning the Title back, whether it's before or at Mania, it's kinda obvious to me.
Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
What a superb match. Those submission holds near the end were disgusting looking, when she started twisting her fingers I cringed. That really looked like something that'd have been painful
Re: The Smackdown Women's Championship Result Was Fantastic
I have to say I was surprised Bliss won the Women's Championship title at TLC but it was a pleasant surprise. Truth be told, Bliss has been killing it as of late. She's not just the best female heel on Smackdown but IMO she's the best heel on the main roster. Yes, Charlotte is the better wrestler but Bliss has her beat when it comes to mic work and character development. I'm glad Bliss is finally getting her moment to shine.
Also, I would love to see a Sasha Banks/Alexa Bliss feud someday.

When people compare Charlotte and Alexa, I always think "If Alexa had Charlotte's body, she'd be the best women's wrestler ever.". As it stands, she does her best with her limited size, but there's just a higher ceiling for a woman of Charlotte's stature.
A dominant reign from a 5'1 munchkin? If that includes a bunch of dirty wins, fine. Otherwise I'm not buying it.
