As WWE heads towards the upcoming "TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2017" pay-per-view, several matches have been set in motion. One of those will involve longtime "Raw" Women's Champion Alexa Bliss, who has become a master at microphone mayhem since arriving to the main roster. Bliss, despite being part of the highly-forgettable "This Is Your Life" segment with Bayley, has been able to drop some major promos as a heel on "Raw." The women's champion will get to defend her championship at the "TLC" pay-per-view against veteran superstar Mickie James.
A segment fans didn't see?
In recent weeks, there have been some segments involving the two with Bliss poking fun at Mickie. The majority of Miss Bliss's comments have been with regards to the fact Mickie has aged and is like senior citizen compared to the rest of the women's division. Bliss even sent Mickie James a few gag gifts on a recent episode of WWE "Raw."
Those gifts included Depend products and a walker for the elder female superstar who was none-too-pleased with the idea. While those were a few gifts that fans saw, there was another gift that Bliss recently told Channel Guide Magazine that fans didn't see.
As reported by Give Me Sport from the interview, Alexa Bliss said there was an idea to give Mickie James Life Alert as part of the gag.
However, that apparently wasn't approved by the creative team so it was never seen as part of their interactions. Instead, Bliss said Nia ended up using the comment in her match later on. While Bliss' idea wasn't used as part of her segment, she mentioned she loves that about the creative team in that when it comes to superstars' ideas, they "always take them into consideration."
While Alexa Bliss' idea wasn't used as part of her segment, she mentioned she loves that about the creative team in that when it comes to superstars' ideas, they "always take them into consideration." Surprisingly, as good as Alexa is on the mic, she also admitted "my ideas are not always that great."
Praise for Mickie James?
Alexa Bliss was previously partnered with Mickie James over on "SmackDown Live," before the duo split up.
Mickie had been a large part of helping Alexa Bliss defeat Becky Lynch to keep hold of the "SmackDown" Women's Championship. For weeks, a masked "La Luchador" superstar was revealed to be Mickie James inside a steel cage match featuring Lynch vs. Bliss. Once Bliss and James arrived to the WWE "Raw" roster, things had changed, though.
Despite their recent feud, Alexa Bliss also gave plenty of praise to Mickie James in the interview. She called Mickie "amazing" because of how many ideas she has. Bliss added that Mickie's length of time in the business has given her a "wealth of knowledge" and that James is "super sweet and open to ideas."
All of that will be on hold when the two climb into the ring at "TLC 2017," but it's certainly good to see there's some love backstage amongst the women's competitors.
