Alexa Bliss finally teased some new direction for her story, so we’ll take a look at what
went down there.
We’ll check out a small update on Edge’s teasers, and much more
So Edge’s vignettes have been a big part of raw since the Money In The Bank event
We’ve been seeing all these mysterious teasers that is obviously leading towards someone’s
WWE return
It was pretty much immediately discovered that Edge was the individual behind these
teasers
But fans have been taking it to a whole other level with some pretty insane theories
One far fetched fan theory that’s out there for Edge’s return includes The Fiend
Fans think that obviously Edge can’t do it alone
Especially with Rhea Ripley returning, now it’s a three-on-one advantage
So it doesn’t really matter how dark and scary Edge’s new persona may be, the numbers
advantage will always win and he’ll be outnumbered
Just look at what The Judgment Day recently did to Rey Mysterio, having that three on
one advantage is just critical
So fans feel like Edge needs to balance out the odds if he’s returning for The Judgment
Day
Maybe Edge needs one woman by his side to cancel out Rhea Ripley, another man with him
to cancel out Damian Priest, and he’ll take care of Finn Balor
So the fan’s dream trio for this Edge team was Edge, The Fiend, and Beth Phoenix
Now that would be quite the strong trio to counter The Judgment Day with
Bray and Edge never really worked with each other
Fun fact: WWE actually considered doing a mixed tag team match with Alexa Bliss and
Bray Wyatt versus Edge and Beth Phoenix for Wrestlemania 37, but that was extremely early
on and eventually was scrapped
So all the theories about Edge bringing back The Fiend as his reinforcement and enforcer
is fun to talk hypothetically talk about, but obviously has no shot of actually happening
right now
Maybe the fans are right and Edge will bring in some extra help, it just won’t be someone
like Bray Wyatt
Since these teasers started airing in early July, fans wondered if Edge would return in
time for Summerslam
And we now know that the answer to that question is no
The MSG edition of Raw was the last shot to get Edge on the Summerslam card, but it looks
like he won’t be actually wrestling at Summerslam
But the good news is that he is still plastered all over the Clash At The Castle advertisements,
so it looks like Edge will return immediately after Summerslam to begin his retribution
story with The Judgment Day and potentially set up a match for the clash at the castle
event itself
In the most recent teaser, Edge is seen walking by a Rey Mysterio mask and a picture of Seth
Rollins
Edge’s history with Rey Mysterio obviously goes back to the early 2000s and everything
they did with each other, from tag team partners to bitter rivals
The Seth Rollins picture is obviously meant to signify Edge’s 2021 feud that he had
with Seth Rollins
Fans have even reversed the audio of the teaser and you can also clearly hear “you think
you know me”, which is of course the opening line of Edge’s iconic theme song
He also writes, in what appear to be blood, the message of “I am coming to…”, but
the the teaser cuts to black before he can write that final word down
So where could he be coming to?
The two most obviously words to fill in to the blank spot there could be something like
“Raw” or even “Summerslam”
Edge may not have a match at Summerslam, but you never know if he makes his actual return
at the event to save the Mysterios from whatever The Judgment Day will do to them after their
tag team match
Like we’ve been talking about for a while, the Summerslam event itself has always had
major returns over the last handful of years
So a return from Edge at Summerslam will keep that tradition going as well
Or even if he doesn’t return at Summerslam, the Raw after Summerslam also seems like another
good spot for that return
So it looks like we’re finally in the endgame for all of these Edge teasers
If we don’t see his physical return at Summerslam, maybe we’ll see one last vignette at Summerslam
to finish off the message that he was previously writing
————————-
Some big new potential stories for Alexa Bliss was hinted at this week on Raw, so let’s
take a look
One of those stories being the story of someone stealing Lilly
This was something that was allegedly being thrown around in the writers room over the
last few weeks
That story never fully played out and came to television, but this week’s raw included
a moment that heavily hinted at that storyline idea
During Alexa’s match with Do-drop, Nikki went over and grabbed Lilly to mock Alexa
with and try to cause a distraction
Alexa was able to still pick up the win and secure Lilly after the match, but it was a
little bit of a close call there that seemed to hint at the idea of someone taking Lilly
Lilly was picked up and held by another superstar… we haven’t seen that happen much, but maybe
this is a little side story that could continue
Maybe Nikki is that superstar that will continue testing Alexa and trying to fully steal Lilly
away from her, so be on the lookout for that small story
The other story that was teased was the idea of Alexa Bliss finally climbing back into
the title picture
Have to remember that it’s been 4 full years since Alexa Bliss has held a major singles
title
Her last singles title reign was Summer 2018 as Raw women’s champion
Ronda Rousey took that title from her and Alexa hasn’t won a major world title again
ever since 2018
Alexa said during her pre-match interview that she doesn’t care if Bianca or Becky
wins at Summerslam, she wants to face whoever is the winner and take back her spot on the
top of the women’s division
And since it’s been 4 years since she held that title, it definitely seems like appropriate
timing for her character to wake up and realize that she should be focusing on going after
that championship
So it’s a good and strong sign that Alexa Bliss may be involved with the title picture
right after Summerslam
The Bianca belair versus Becky Lynch match at Summerslam should be the final chapter
in their story
Becky kicked the story off one year ago by turning heel and robbing Bianca of her title
Becky continued to cheat and secure wins over Bianca until Wrestlemania 38, where Bianca
finally got her revenge and defeated Becky
Now we get to Summerslam 2022, one full year later, and it feels like this is it
If Bianca wins, she’ll correct the horror of Summerslam 2021 and redeem herself
If Becky Lynch wins, she’ll get a second straight win over Bianca Belair at Summerslam
and Bianca will be living that nightmare all over again
But regardless of who wins, that should be the end of their story
That opens up the door for someone new to get involved in the title picture
Sure, Alexa is former five time champion, but she hasn’t had a full title feud in
4 years, so she’ll feel like a fresh face in the title scene
And even though Alexa Bliss has called out Bianca and Becky and said that she’s next
in line, that obviously doesn’t mean she’ll get that number one contender spot that easily
Maybe Alexa can secure a big win over the loser of the Summerslam raw women’s title
match and that will escalate her into that number one contender spot
And since she would be the number one contender with the spotlight on her, maybe Alexa’s
internal story with her persona, actions, and Lilly will pick back up too
Lilly is still around, so it has to be for a reason
There has to be a point where we’ll see some sort of twist involving Alexa and Lilly,
so maybe that’s still coming up soon as well
