Alexa Bliss reveals what she thinks of women who competed in 'Bra & Panties' matches, discloses if she would ever do it
Although many had believed that Alexa Bliss will remain a manager given her time in NXT where she did not have much of an in-ring career, The Goddess of WWE has gone on to become one of the most prominent female Superstars of today.
Alexa Bliss recently spoke to FOX, and discussed a variety of topics including the evolution of matches of female Superstars. She talked about the era in WWE where women had to compete in 'Bra & Panties' matches and reveals if she would ever do it.
When I first started in NXT, there were certain moves we weren’t required to learn because we were never going to do them. The idea was a catfight. It all changed for me when I was watching a match with Paige and Emma. They did a top rope suplex and we were like, ‘Hell yeah, this is where it’s all going to change.’ It was awesome because it shows our women are athletic, can do what the men do, and can be seen in a different light. I respect the women who had to do the bra and panties match because I could never do it. Kudos, I couldn’t do it. You’ve got to respect that because they did that, for us to do what we do now.

Even though today we live in an era where women have main evented multiple PPVs including WrestleMania, that was not always the case in WWE. There were many such gimmick matches that used to take place during the Attitude Era.
