Alexa Bliss Feels Her WWE Character Is In Limbo

Alexa Bliss has gone through several radical character changes since her time in NXT. From sparkly cheerleader, through ‘Goddess’, to all the dark energy with Lily the doll, it’s been an eventful character arc for Bliss.

However, Bliss herself feels she is in limbo at the moment, with her character having been fairly rudderless for much of the past year, with Bliss saying the following to Metro:

“Everything I do in the ring is a creative escape for me, because this is the first time I’ve actually been myself on TV, but before in the last eight years I’ve never been me. They always say “Be yourself but turned up”, but for me in life – I like me. For TV, I’m not entertaining, I know that! I’m boring! I sit on the couch and watch Netflix, that’s not something you can sell on TV, that’s not gonna be fun in matches. So I’m trying to find what that is and what that escape is,” began Bliss.

Bliss continued, “Even when I was the Goddess, I was using that an escape to be the people I went to high school with and mimic those girls. Everyone knows that girl, and I got a lot of inspiration from TV and movies. Especially with the Dark Alexa character, I had a lot of inspiration from my real life things. It was fun, it was an escape, I liked being able to almost be a persona. Put on a mask, go out, be that person, and then after my segment, take it off and then just be me.

“Now I’m in this limbo of, I don’t really now where I’m going with my character yet. I kind of evolved so many times in the last nine years – I feel like I’ve had more characters than any other woman on the roster. So now, it’s finding where I fit, what character is needed for the show. Right now, I’m just me and I don’t like that for TV. I like me for me outside in life, but for TV – Lexi is not entertaining.”
