We said: Experienced veteran against a newcomer on a hot streak. It’s a tale as old as time, only Alexa Bliss decided to focus on the “old” bit during the run-up to her title defense against six-time Women’s Champion Mickie James. The response was a turn-back-the-clock performance from Mickie, who dedicated the challenge to her son and made no secret about her desire to bring a title home to him. She may have fallen short, but she did him proud anyway.

They said: “The approach to that match is to try to basically keep up. The fact that she’s a veteran and has accomplished so much, and trying to follow in her footsteps while having a match with her is amazing. You never stop learning in this business, and Mickie has taught me so much as a performer. When she came back to WWE, she was partnered with me on SmackDown. I learned a lot from her. But to actually face someone in the ring, you learn a lot from them. She’s an amazing opponent, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” — ALEXA BLISS
