Backstage, Alexa Bliss walks into Angle’s office. Bliss congratulates Angle for being team captain of Team Raw. Bliss says she can help Angle. Angle should cut some of the dead weight from the Raw women’s division, starting with Mickie James. They can easily replace James with anyone from the Mae Young Classic… in fact, they could probably just dig up Mae. Angle looks at Bliss like she has 17 heads. Last week, when Raw was under siege Bliss, was standing off tot he side. James was in the thick of things fighting for team Raw. Tonight, Bliss will defend the Raw Women’s title against James.
