The looming threat of聽Ronda Rousey鈥檚 return from suspension hasn鈥檛 done anything to dampen聽Alexa Bliss鈥 fun as Raw Women鈥檚 Champion, though a combination of聽Natalya聽and a returning聽Nia Jax certainly reminded Little Miss Bliss that she has no shortage of enemies in Rowdy Ronda鈥檚 absence. Jax might be the most ominous threat, as she鈥檚 already slated to challenge for the Raw Women鈥檚 Title at Extreme Rules, but Bliss has thus far focused more on running down the absent Rousey than closing ranks. Can Alexa set her mind to protecting her title? Or is she being pulled in too many directions at once to mount a strong defense?
