Welcome back to wrestling world!
Today, we have a new video about the cancelled
plans for Alexa Bliss and how she responded
I unfortunately have to admit that I did get
the overall feeling we were headed this direction
because that’s what WWE has been doing a
lot lately
But new reports and a few rumors that are
going around claim Alexa Bliss was originally
booked to play a big role in the Summerslam
main event between The Fiend Bray Wyatt and
Braun Strowman
This made the most sense storyline wise.
WWE first introduced Alexa Bliss into the
Bray Wyatt and Bruan Strowman feud during
the swamp fight.
Alexa appeared in a vision to Bruan strowman
as sister Abigail and was inviting him to
join Bray Wyatt again
WWE then brilliantly followed that up by having
Bray Wyatt attacked and capture Alexa Bliss
That was absolutely brilliant and the fans
loved it.
That first segment between Bray Wyatt and
Alexa Bliss even had 3.5 million views on
WWE’s YouTube channel, which is a huge deal
for WWE
They don’t often have segment go that viral
on YouTube, so it showed that the fans were
interested in that
I covered every segment we got, every update
that came out and we talked about how Alexa
Bliss was the true wild card here
She could really determine the fate of the
universal championship by either helping strowman
or Bray Wyatt at Summerslam
That’s what I fully expected to see at Summerslam
Alexa was kept off the Smackdown before Summerslam
and we had that tag line of “you’ll never
see it coming” for Summerslam
I thought that little tag line could be in
reference to Alexa Bliss’ appearance in
the closing moments of the show with a whole
new look to help Bray Wyatt win the title
That’s what I expected to see, especially
after all the lead up and hints over the past
few weeks on Smackdown
Apparently, this was exactly what was supposed
to happen and it was still set to take place
while the show was on air, but there was a
last second cancellation to those plans obviously
because of the Roman reigns return
Even Alexa Bliss herself was still under the
impression that she was still going out there
in the main event, but she was informed at
the last second that things have changed
I think Alexa Bliss was informed about the
change so late during the show because obviously
Roman’s return was soo top secret that not
even the talent knew, so Alexa was most likely
unaware why the plans changed
Alexa took to twitter to post a few tweets
after the show and you can basically sense
the frustration coming from her.
Right after the show went off air, Alexa took
to twitter to post a huge image of the shrugging
emoji
She didn’t say much, but just from that
emoji alone, you can tell what she was implying
She was frustrated of having those weeks of
build up just to be left off the show at the
last second
Alexa retweeted a tweet from a fan that said
“Where is Alexa Bliss?”
Another fan on twitter responded to the fan
and said:
“They built the whole storyline around Alexa
Bliss the last few weeks and then she's not
involved at all.
Unbelievable”
Another fan responded to that by saying
“You expected WWE to follow through with
a plot?”
And all those fans all have valid points,
but the biggest point there was the last fan.
It’s unfortunately getting to the point
where you can’t expect WWE to actually follow
through with a plot, it basically never happens
nowadays
I love WWE, I’ll always be a fan of the
company, but me personally as a viewer that
loves storytelling, getting invested, and
going deep into the stories, it’s extremely
frustrating watching WWE because of all the
inconsistencies and last second cancellations
to major storylines.
They never go through with what they build
up
There’s nothing more frustrating than that.
You get so invested in a storyline, you’re
excited and interested to see what happens
next, but then all of a sudden you don’t
see any follow up to that story and you read
online that yeah, WWE just decided to drop
that storyline or drop that angle and it’s
probably the most annoying thing for the viewer
to me, if I’m running a show or anything
like that, I’m not going to introduce and
tease a storyline to the my viewers and then
3-4 weeks into it I just decide “you know
what, let’s drop that story with no explanation”
That’s just not right, it’s frustrating
for the viewer.
It’s not the first time this happened, we’ve
even seen another huge cancellation with the
Smackdown Hacker earlier this year
Months and months of build about this hacker
and then he’s just gone over night with
no explanation because they changed their
mind on the story
All of that should be figured out before you
introduce it on tv.
Get the whole story planned out and see if
you like it, so you can determine if you want
to put it on tv or not
Don’t introduce a story if you’re not
committed to it.
If you’re going to tease something then
decide to just drop it a few weeks later,
how about you just not introduce on TV in
the first place?
Did they ever think of that?
Roman’s return was great, don’t get me
wrong, but considering all the build up over
the last few weeks, this should’ve been
Alexa’s spot at Summerslam because of all
the time we put into seeing that unfold
Then you could’ve had Roman return on Smackdown
or maybe at payback, but I really think they
just blew the opportunity for Alexa to get
involved
I don’t blame Alexa Bliss for being angry
or frustrated at all, I’m just one individual
viewer and I’m just as disappointed and
upset with that cancellation
I love WWE, I respect them as a wrestling
organization, but based of this situation
and a few other storyline cancellations from
this year, it’s getting really difficult
to respect them as a storytelling organization
because it seems like they have no commitment
to anything they show on screen
Like that fan said, if you believe that WWE
is actually gonna go through with a plot,
you’re basically a fool and unfortunately,
that’s true
I learned my lesson, I’m definitely not
gonna get invested into anything WWE shows
on television anymore because there’s a
good chance that it’ll be cancelled the
following week
That’s why I’m not diving too much into
retribution.
I like the attacks, I like their style and
vibe, but I think they still have no real
direction and judging by recent history, there’s
a good chance that WWE doesn’t know what
to really do with them either
Just like Raw Underground.
I loved the idea when I first saw it, but
me personally I’m starting to lose a bit
of interest with Raw Underground
Some people may like it and that’s fine,
but to me, I view it now as a bit of filler.
It’s just random 30 second matches with
no real story or direction
There was even a report that claimed WWE filmed
a lot of segments for Raw underground this
week, but a lot of them got cut from the show
There was also another report that Raw’s
script was being changed while the show was
on air this week, but I tend to just ignore
those reports and never cover them because
those reports literally come out every single
week saying the same exact thing, so I don’t
pay it any mind
But if you’re changing a television show
script while you’re on air with that show
then that’s a key factor in letting you
know that something is wrong
It’s not meant to bash WWE at all, I love
WWE, it’s just a suggestion to make their
television product even better
I would just like them to start getting into
the habit of actually following through with
plots and their storylines, and not rewriting
things 15 minutes before the show ends
More commitments to story telling would really
improve the overall quality of the product
There was a report that Vince McMahon always
says don’t tease a match that you can’t
deliver...so wouldn’t that be equivalent
to “don’t tease a storyline that you can’t
deliver”
If you keep up with these storyline cancellations,
it’s going to get to the point where the
viewers will never high expectations because
they know you’ll just cancel the story
That’s sort of where I’m at right now.
I watch the product, but I try not to get
invested because of that exact reason
It’s such a shame because Alexa was absolutely
brilliant and was the main center piece for
the story and for you to just remove her big
Summerslam moment is quite the blow to all
the hard work she’s put in building this
arc and basically carrying it on her back
Braun is great, Bray is brilliant, but Alexa
was the most interesting character here because
we didn’t know what to expect from her at
Summerslam
With this cancellation, we’ll have to see
how WWE will explain Alexa Bliss going back
to normal, or maybe WWE will explain it in
their usual fashion and that’s with no explanation
at all
something has to be done about all these cancellations
and no commitment to anything they show us
