When he isn’t changing the rules in the middle of matches, “General Manager-Elect” Baron Corbin is busy making some personnel moves with long-term repercussions. Specifically, he appointed Alexa Bliss to oversee the Raw Women’s division, and The Goddess began her tenure with an “Open Forum” with Sasha Banks & Bayley as her first act of business. Ostensibly, the sit-down was an opportunity for The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection to answer fan questions (for the record, Bayley wants the Women’s division to continue to grow, and both Superstars want to send Alexa back to SmackDown LIVE and/or “hell”) but Alexa used the time to try and stir the pot between the two friends.
She wasn’t the only one looking to advance her agenda: During the confab, Mickie James, Alicia Fox and Dana Brooke bum-rushed The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection from behind, though Sasha & Bayley fought their way out of the ambush and hurled their attackers from the ring, ending Alexa’s first night as steward on a down note.
