She’s a good talker, but she’s cut the same promo for 3 years. Just sub out a different name and a couple mean looks and that’s about it

I don’t even agree that she’s a good talker.
Being a confident speaker in front of the crowd is one thing (and she is entirely), but there has never been anything captivating about her as a speaker. She’s ONLY good at two tropes: being “the heel” and being “the fake face for a few seconds only to say something heelish at the end”
She can’t command sympathy, She doesn’t know how to put over a beating, she doesn’t even do “scared as a heel” believable when she’s fighting someone like Ronda or Nia.
It seems like because she can either make a script sound not like a script (or go off a loose script) that people give her a nod in the talking department. But she’s honestly not even that great or deep as a speaker.
Did you see that Nikki Cross segment last week

I think heel Doink and The Mountie had better runs.. Skinner was more memorable
If she's not a good talker what does that make the rest of the women's roster?
Alexa's ability to speak on the mic without sounding like an ESL student (Sasha) or retard (Bailey) is why her ability was praised in the first place. Of all the women on the roster only a handful can be called decent; CHHHarllotte, Becky, Naomi, Paige and Alexa. The rest, garbage.

I can hear crickets when she's talking especially lately. Her talk show segments have been a train wreck. What value is her "mic ability" bringing to the table? Like I said, she cuts one promo and it's been the same promo for three years.
There are wrestlers who can advance story lines without ever stepping into the ring.
There are wrestlers who can retain viewers when they are speaking or they have phrases that get wildly popular and end up on t-shirts.
Alexa has been none of those. And she's so terrible in the ring that even if she did have the ability to get people interested in a match, once the bell rings it's laughably bad and people run to the vendors.

If she was a brunette she wouldn't even be taken serious.
I guess some folks are easy to impress.
Yeah and what female wrestlers are these?

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.
