On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown held in Berlin, Alexa Bliss was denied a fair opportunity to capture the WWE Women’s United States Championship after outside interference determined the match result. The highly anticipated title bout, key for WWE and fans of Alexa Bliss, ended with significant controversy and left many questioning the outcome.
Alexa Bliss Challenges Giulia Amid Unfavorable Odds
WWE had lined up three major title contests for this week’s SmackDown, with the first featuring Giulia, who recently claimed the Women’s United States Championship from Cheslea Green. Giulia was tasked with defending her new title in Berlin, facing none other than Alexa Bliss. However, Bliss entered the ring without Charlotte Flair, putting her at a clear disadvantage, while Giulia received strategic support from Kiana James in her corner.
Decisive Interference Changes the Match Outcome
The championship match played out in a way that many expected, as outside involvement shaped the final moments. At a critical juncture, Alexa Bliss seemed poised to secure victory after successfully landing a Sister Abigail on Giulia. However, as Bliss attempted to finish the match with her signature top-rope move, Twisted Bliss, Kiana James distracted her, shifting the momentum.
During the chaos, Bliss was thrown off the top rope by Lash Legend while the referee’s attention was elsewhere, occupied by James’s interference. This opened the door for Giulia, who seized the moment to hit the Northern Lights Bomb on Bliss and claim the pinfall victory.
