3 things fans learned from this week's WWE episodes (26 and 27 November 2018)
This week's WWE Raw was below par, with some fans going as far as saying that this was the worst episode of Raw in recent history, but I disagree on that because I have seen Sami Zayn making fun of three men dressed as Bobby Lashley's sisters.
SmackDown on the other hand, was decent as usual, as we got to see some good promos from Becky and AJ Styles, followed by an amazing match between The Bar and The Usos.
Each week, we get to know about the next steps in the different storylines, and this week WWE didn't disappoint in that regard, as feuds were building-up for the TLC pay-per-view. This week we focus on Raw (November 26) and SmackDown (November 27).
#1 Alexa Bliss is not returning as a wrestler any time soon
Alexa Bliss last wrestled in a televised match at Hell in a Cell against Ronda Rousey. Since then we have mostly seen her as an NPC helping alongside her kayfabe best friends Mickie James and Alicia Fox, due to a concussion issue.
At Survivor Series, she captained Team Raw's Women's tag team, but did not wrestle herself. There were reports surfacing last week that Bliss may retire as a full-time wrestler and take the role of Raw's General Manager, just like Paige did earlier this year due to injury.
Even though that may not be confirmed as yet, WWE very subtly hinted that Bliss may not return as a wrestler anytime soon.
Alexa Bliss was assigned to oversee the entire women's division by Baron Corbin this week on Raw, which tells us that her injury is more serious than previously speculated, and that is why she is being kept away from the ring, and has been assigned an authority role for the foreseeable future.
I don't think Alexa's career is very much in danger because WWE does take this types of precautions with concussion issues, and besides her strength as a heel was with the mic, and we are still going to see her cutting those promos regularly.
