Welcome to the Raw review for January 2, 2023
Twisted Bliss
Ever since Bray Wyatt returned, fans have been asking if he and Alexia Bliss would team back up. We had seen glimpses as a strange symbol seemed to activate something in her. Things came to a head last week as the sign flashed and Bliss smashed a vase over Bianca Belair’s head.
Their match tonight started and things seemed normal at first. Things changed when a strange man appeared in the crowd wearing what looked to be an Uncle Howdy mask( it was not the person we had seen on Smackdown lately) Bliss snapped, attacking both the referee and destroying Belair so bad she started to bleed. In a later interview, Bliss seemed totally gone, as she said she finally had control over the women’s champion.
