Reason why Alexa Bliss should have lost on WWE SmackDown explained by Vince Russo (Exclusive)

WWE's next premium live event, Money in the Bank, is just around the corner, and things are heating up ahead of the June 7 event. This week's episode of RAW saw Roxanne Perez and Rhea Ripley join Alexa Bliss in the upcoming Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Bliss punched her ticket to the event by winning a Triple Threat Match against Chelsea Green and Michin during last week's episode of WWE SmackDown.

Speaking on Legion of RAW on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, former WWE writer Vince Russo said that Chelsea Green should've won the match instead of Bliss. According to the veteran, the story would have been more interesting if The Hot Mess had been in the Ladder Match, with her Secret Hervice helping the Canadian win the contest.

''It was Alexa Bliss, Chelsea Green, and Michin. How much more interesting would it have been if it would have been [sic] Chelsea Green and her two bodyguards [Piper Niven and Alba Fyre]? Would that not have been much better, and what story could we have gotten out of that? But no, we beat Chelsea, and now we've got nothing," Russo said. [From 45:33 onwards]

Chelsea Green was among the fan favorites to win the briefcase last year, and her table spot at the event gained her a massive fan following. It will be interesting to see if the Triple H-led creative team gives the former Women's US Champion another opportunity to book her spot in the gimmick match.
