Let’s take a look at the five things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT and SmackDown this week.
#5 Lily must continue to stalk superstars backstage on WWE RAW
Alexa Bliss enjoyed playing second fiddle to ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt for quite some time on WWE RAW. Bliss was seen as the backbone in The Fiend’s extended rivalry with Randy Orton.
However, Bliss cost The Fiend his match against Orton at WrestleMania 37, and has been building her own storyline on Alexa’s Playground ever since. The Goddess has revealed a brand new character called Lily.
The evil doll seems to be in control of Bliss, and the former RAW Women’s Champion made a big revelation on RAW last week. Bliss claimed that Lily had her eyes on someone backstage on RAW. This helped build excitement around the storyline.
Lily was seen stalking Sonya Deville and Angel Garza backstage, and both superstars could fall under her spell in the coming weeks. However, WWE must stretch the angle further this week and allow Lily to stalk a few more big names.
RAW has had some ordinary segments over the past few weeks, and WWE could use Alexa’s story to make things a little more interesting. Garza should have a more aggressive attitude while Deville partners up with Charlotte Flair.
Lily must continue to target a few more RAW Superstars before choosing her next victim. Will Bliss and Lily ultimately target the new redhead on RAW?
