Vince Russo, a former WWE writer, has publicly criticized WWE’s recent decision-making, especially regarding Alexa Bliss missing the Money in the Bank opportunity. With Bliss’s return failing to spark major storylines, Russo believes the company overlooked a crucial moment to capitalize on her comeback.
Vince Russo Questions WWE’s Booking Decisions for Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss returned to WWE at the Royal Rumble earlier this year after a lengthy absence of almost two years. Despite her status as a former women’s champion, Alexa has been largely absent from any significant narratives or high-profile matches since re-entering the ring. In addition, rumors of her involvement in a storyline with the Wyatt Sicks have yet to materialize into anything substantial, leaving many fans and commentators puzzled about her current trajectory.
Missed Opportunity at Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
On a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW, Vince Russo voiced strong feelings about WWE’s creative direction. He stated his opinion that Naomi’s victory in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match wasn’t necessary and that Alexa Bliss should have received the spotlight to ignite her rumored alliance with the Wyatt Sicks. In his words:
“Go back to Money in the Bank, it’s the usual suspects. Naomi wins. You’re gonna sit there and tell me Alexa Bliss didn’t need this more to kick off the whole Wyatt Sicks program? We’ve been down this road with Naomi. Naomi is already in an angle with Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair.”

Lack of Momentum Since Alexa Bliss’s Return
Since returning, Bliss has participated in only a limited number of matches. While she appeared to hint at a storyline involving Charlotte Flair, these teases have not recently led to any direct interactions between the two on WWE programming. This lack of development has further fueled frustrations within the wrestling community, particularly among supporters looking forward to seeing Bliss featured in leading roles.
Significance of WWE’s Choices Moving Forward
The decision to sideline Alexa Bliss from major moments like the Money in the Bank ladder match may have longer-term effects on her momentum. With ongoing storylines involving names such as Naomi, Jade Cargill, and Bianca Belair, WWE risks underutilizing talented performers like Bliss. The focus now shifts to whether WWE will integrate Alexa Bliss more prominently, especially as fan anticipation surrounding possible alliances like the Wyatt Sicks continues to grow.
