The women's Money In The Bank match hit a few bumps in the road, which WWE fans were quick to point out, but Alexa Bliss isn't having any of it. She's back on Monday Night Raw after taking some time off and has been involved in the mid-card since returning. The women's side of the red brand is currently stacked, but Bliss is still a veteran who's been around long enough to know what's what.
Shotzi Blackheart received so much blowback from the Money In The Bank match that she deactivated her Twitter, and the IWC's reaction online almost overshadowed Liv Morgan's emotional win. Now Bliss has weighed in on the reaction from fans and made some excellent points while doing so.
Speaking with Alistair McGeorge of Metro Online, Five Feet Of Fury had this to say about the Money In The Bank match and the fan response: "Everyone felt good, we’re all safe – which is what’s important. It was a chaotic day from start to finish. We all got through it, we all had fun. We were all really happy for Liv – it’s her time... Nobody got hurt. We all had a blast, and the Vegas crowd was HotHotHot! I felt on top of the world after that match and was so excited to finally have my first hardcore match in over a year. I wouldn’t have done anything I didn’t practice or thought I couldn’t do safely. But I’m not a wrestle robot, I’m human and slips happen, especially in a chaotic, unpredictable ladder match."
WWE Superstars Like Bliss Are People Too
It's bizarre that in this day and age, wrestling fans frequently seem to forget that wrestlers are human beings first and foremost. A very high percentage of the audience has never been involved in a professional wrestling match, so there's really no realistic grasp on how hard some of the in-ring stunts are. Especially for a match like Money In The Bank, where things are happening at a frantic pace, and it's easy to slip up. Chris Jericho recently laid into AEW fans for calling out so-called botches, and while Bliss took a higher road than The Wizard, the notion is still the same: mistakes happen sometimes, and if no one is injured, it ought to be fine.
Blackheart feeling like she had to deactivate her Twitter account to protect her mental health because she messed up one spot in a wrestling match is ridiculous. WWE fans are allowed to cheer and boo whoever and whenever they want, but bullying another human being online for a misstep is over the line. It's a subject more wrestlers have been speaking up on lately, and hopefully, WWE fans eventually learn to go with the flow a bit more during these kinds of bouts.
