Let’s take a look at the five things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.
#5 Alexa Bliss and Lily must target a former champion on WWE RAW
Alexa Bliss and Lily are having the time of their lives on WWE RAW. Bliss has been hosting Alexa’s Playground on RAW and has made Lily’s intentions clear over the past couple of weeks.
Lily has her eyes on a superstar on RAW, and WWE must focus on building that storyline on this week’s show. Bliss and Lily must appear this week and start possessing former RAW Women’s Champion Asuka.
Asuka was one of the women who competed in the six-woman tag team match on RAW. Bliss and Lily appeared to watch the match closely. The Empress pinned Shayna Baszler to pick up the victory in the match.
Asuka has now fallen out of the RAW Women’s Championship picture after her loss at WrestleMania Backlash, and this could be Lily’s time to strike. Bliss and her doll could take control of Asuka and possibly take her back to her old Kana character to change things around on RAW.
The angle could help bring something different to the WWE Universe and give Bliss and Asuka a chance to work together. Lily could end up building an all-women faction on RAW that could help build RAW’s women division.
