From Petty to Powerful: A Shift in Bliss’s Promo Style
Following criticism of a previous promo against the WarGames team of Nia Jax, Lash Legend, and Asuka after “WWE SmackDown,” alexa Bliss delivered a compelling and emotionally resonant promo against Ric Flair on Monday’s “WWE Raw.” This promo marked a meaningful departure from her past character work, which sometimes relied on immature or personal attacks.
Previously, during her “Goddess” era, Bliss was known for making remarks about opponents’ appearances, career failures, and personal lives. While effective in generating heat, these tactics occasionally felt petty. The Flair promo, though, was described as “scathing, but not petty” and ”deeply personal, but not catty.”
The author notes that a less skilled performer might have succumbed to heelish tendencies given the intensity of the situation, but Bliss maintained a level of class and intensity that elevated the segment.This suggests a growth in her ability to convey anger and rage without resorting to spiteful tactics.
The Flair/Bliss Feud: A Promising Advancement
Despite reservations about Ric Flair’s involvement in the WarGames match, the author expresses optimism about a potential feud between Flair and bliss. The primary reason for this optimism is the quality of Bliss’s promos, which have demonstrated a return to her peak performance level.
The author admits to previously criticizing Bliss but now believes she is performing at a “GOAT” level, indicating a significant change in opinion based on her recent work.
