The backlash against Bliss seems to mask the quality work she's done this year. Team Little Big was a major highlight of the Mixed Matched Challenge and Bliss has stepped up well in the several big multi-women matches she's been in. Loses some points for the Jax feud, but the booking was backwards and probably an unforced error in having them square off in the roles they were given. Gave Rousey the perfect title win without losing much by being destroyed. In the end, she may not be as good as others in the division, but she's hardly relying on the color of her hair and her looks like I've seen far too many claim.

The Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax match at WrestleMania was a lot of storyline stuff, but it was done well and I could easily see it being somebody's favorite match on that show. I thought there were other singles matches of hers I liked this year but all I have on my list are the Elimination Chamber and Money In The Bank Match (i.e. not singles matches). The women's division is probably the best part of WWE this year and she has been the main focus of much of it, but she does not seem to have any standout matches. She'll likely end up on my list, but towards the bottom.

I like Alexa a lot and think she plays a good role in WWE's womens division and makes the most of the programs she's booked in, but for a project like this where the focus is in-ring I can't say she's one of the best 100 wrestlers in the world. Her partnership with Braun in the Mixed Match Challenge I thought was outstanding and was a big part of why that show was so fun to watch.
I think one mistake people make with her is saying she's pushed because of her looks, when to me it's always been more of a case of she can nail the 10 minute talking segment better than the stronger workers can and that's why Vince keeps putting her into title situations.
