Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss Confirmed for “No Mercy”

Becky Lynch’s title reign may be in jeopardy; and that’s no joke.

Last night on “Smackdown Live,” Alexa Bliss won a fatal 5-way match to become the no. 1 contender for the “Smackdown” Women’s Championship, currently held by Lynch. The two will meet at “No Mercy,” on October 9, for the title.

WWE.com has posted the following preview for the match:

Becky Lynch finally has WWE championship gold in her possession, but she won’t have much time to bask in the glory of her achievement with a diabolical top contender already named.

Alexa Bliss will be the first Superstar to challenge the SmackDown Women’s Champion, in a title clash slated for SmackDown LIVE’s next brand-exclusive pay-per-view, No Mercy, on Sunday, Oct. 9. Alexa moved into contention after defeating Nikki Bella, Natalya, Naomi and Carmella in a Fatal 5-Way on Sept. 13.

A petite punisher with a hair-trigger temper, Alexa claims she embodies everything that The New Era is designed to be. Between her dynamic offense (which is supported by a world-class gymnastics background) and chippy attitude, the villainous Superstar clearly means business, maintaining a steady focus on trying to rule Team Blue’s Women’s division.

As the competitor who currently does rule the division, Becky is living out a dream that has been many years in the making. The Irish Lass Kicker won’t easily let go of the title she worked her entire career to obtain, least of all to the first challenger who comes her way.

Will Becky Lynch’s textbook technique and limb-wrenching ways carry her to victory? Or will the always-irritable Alexa Bliss snap when the stakes are highest, to the detriment of the champion?

Editor’s Note:

This is a match that many people have wanted to see, including myself. Both Lynch and Bliss have taken “Smackdown Live” by storm, and have quickly proven to be two of the brand’s most valuable commodities. Pair that with Bliss’ awesome new Harley Quinn look, and you have a combination that is incredibly entertaining. I expect this to be a great match!
