Initially I was an Alexa fan. I thought she was a convincing heel & decent on the mic (slightly better than Sasha & Charoltte at the time). But its impossible not to compare her to Sasha and their respective career trajectories. Sasha is one of my favorite wrestlers period & one of the top 3 in the ring but what am I missing?
It seems like the spot Alexa has the undersized, loud mouth heel couldn’t easily been Sasha’s spot. Is Sasha that much of a malcontent backstage? Is it simply that Alexa is a whiter/blonder version of Sasha?
Alexa isn’t better in the ring and very rarely wrestlers. Meanwhile they use Sasha to carry the water of the division wrestling every week on Raw (is that good enough?). Most of the best women’s matches of the last few years have one common denominator Sasha. Whether its Sasha vs Asuka or Sasha vs Charoltte or Sasha vs Bailey. Am I downplaying Alexa’s in-ring work?
