Trish and Mickie both did it and Trish was passable enough in the ring to retain her heat once the bell rang. Mickie got over in backstage segments and was able to carry that over into the ring as well.
The most popular female performers in 2019, most of them can work. People are expecting to see the bar raised from previous eras. Barclays was a big deal, it was sold out first big NXT show of that size and Sasha/Bayley had a big match that was highly praised, got over and retained it's heat through it's duration. That in part led to situations where Sasha vs. Charlotte could main event a RAW and hold on to 3+ million viewers. That is huge for the 3rd hour. Women didn't start getting main events because they thought it could be viable, they still had to prove that women's wrestling could be viable and they did.
So with Alexa, I can't remember a promo that stuck or led to a match that people were interested in and I can't remember an in-ring performance that showed people will care enough to tune in to see her.
None of what you posted is recent. All these chicks who can "work," which none of them are consistently good workers, do not draw an audience. No one is invested in their programs. So what value do their skill and ability bring? Ratings are down. Attendance is down.
Whether they can talk or not, whether they can work or not doesn't matter in 2019. It's all personal preference. But when you try to project your preference onto a larger audience it becomes a problem in these debates. From where I sit no one cares if a chick is a midget blonde who can talk or if they are a cute but sloppy worker. If Alexa or Sasha were released it would have NO effect on the company whatsoever. They are of equal value; little to none.
