Alexa Bliss is not happy with the crowd reaction for her match on this week’s Raw.

WWE held a 4-way elimination match to determine who will face Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch at SummerSlam. The participants were Bliss, Natalya, Naomi and Carmela. Natalya earned the title shot by making Alexa Bliss tap out to the Sharpshooter well past the 20-minute mark.

The match had a lot of rest holds, stalling and transitions. A good portion of the audience was not into it and let the women know they were dissatisfied. Several rebellious chants broke out, including “This is awful” and “Boring.” There were also chants for Becky Lynch and John Cena.

While Raw was still on the air, Alexa Bliss tweeted:

Just Disrespectful.

Alexa Bliss did not stop there. She retweeted a message from one of her followers that stated, “They ask for the women to be taken seriously and then they begin to chant that. Disappointing from the crowd.”

Another fan wrote that it was unnecessary for fans to “outright sh*t” on the performers who are putting their bodies on the line in the ring. Bliss agreed, writing that WWE encourages fans to be vocal, but there’s no need for anybody to be rude.

Yes we encourage reactions, cheering & booing & chants . We don’t encourage people to be rude

Alexa Bliss’ comments tap into an ongoing conversation about fan conduct at live events. People are encouraged to cheer and boo the matches. Good heels will get a strong negative reaction. That’s a big part of wrestling and something that promoters aim for. If a match is boring, fans will probably let the wrestlers know about it.

However, some conduct is clearly off limits. There have been a few recent incidents that cross the line, such as an Impact Wrestling fan spitting on Taya Valkyrie and a AAA fan groping Scarlett Bordeaux.

Thankfully, the crowd on Raw did not get anywhere near those levels of inappropriate behavior. The reactions on social media to Alexa Bliss’ comments are mixed. Some are defending the athletes, while others say the match stunk and paid fans are allowed to give feedback.
