Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair
Having dethroned Natalya as SmackDown Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair will battle Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss at Survivor Series.
Bliss, meet Flair.
Alexa Bliss’ month of preparation for SmackDown Women’s Champion Natalya went out the window after Charlotte Flair dethroned The Queen of Harts as Team Blue’s titleholder, setting up a Champion vs. Champion Match at Survivor Series between the only two Superstars to hold the Women’s Titles of both brands.
Alexa’s story as Raw Women’s Champion is well known by this point: After starting the year as SmackDown Women’s Champion, she moved to the red side in the Superstar Shake-up and held down the fort for the most of 2017, denying challengers such as Bayley, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax and Mickie James.
Charlotte, on the other hand, has been in the unfamiliar position of chasing a title for most of this year: After losing the Raw Women’s Title to Bayley in January, she came to SmackDown LIVE in the Superstar Shake-up and found Team Blue’s top prize to be just beyond her grasp. She had even been set to compete on the Women’s Survivor Series team after defeating Natalya by disqualification — but not winning the title — at WWE Hell in a Cell.
However, a last-minute ruling by SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon gave The Nature Girl one more opportunity at the title, and Charlotte did not disappoint, defeating Natalya to win her first SmackDown Women’s Championship. The emotional victory prompted a celebration with her father, Ric Flair, who made a surprise appearance — his first after a major health scare — to congratulate his daughter.
With her classically flippant attitude toward her challengers, Alexa is likely unimpressed by this comeback, which, in fairness, is the same song she’s been singing for a while now: After WWE TLC, the Raw Talk panel floated the idea about what would happen if Alexa were to face Charlotte, and “The Goddess of WWE” was dismissive at best. That attitude certainly reflects her skills as champion, but now, it’s a response she can no longer afford.
Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs.
SmackDown Women’s Champion Natalya
With Emma gone I feel this is an even bigger mistake than I did before not to have Alexa on Team Raw.The WWE Universe will witness history at WWE Survivor Series when, for the first time ever, the Raw Women’s Champion and SmackDown Women’s Champion collide, as Team Red’s Alexa Bliss squares off against Team Blue’s Natalya in a battle for brand supremacy. To quote Stephanie McMahon’s theme song, “Welcome to the Queendom.”
In lieu of WWE Survivor Series being the night brand supremacy is decided, Bliss and Natalya will face off in a contest to see which brand’s Women’s division is best. The “goddess” of WWE and Queen of Black Harts squared off during Little Miss Bliss’ time on SmackDown LIVE, but Bliss has ascended to a completely new level of confidence and skill since moving over to Raw earlier this year.
Will Alexa’s monumental 2017 continue with a victory in this historic contest? Or, will Natalya’s experience prove to be vital in establishing her as the top titleholder in this Champion vs. Champion showdown at WWE Survivor Series? Find out at WWE Survivor Series, streaming live on WWE Network on Sunday, Nov. 19, at 7 ET/4 PT.
