Some of the WWE’s best and most memorable characters are the darker, evil ones like the Undertaker and Bray Wyatt.
Before her hiatus for sinus surgery, Alexa Bliss had a good run with Lily as her sidekick/evil side, and when Charlotte Flair defeated her it was the perfect time to revamp her character while she was away.
Not everything goes according to plan or as we hope, and Alexa’s return looked like a cool thing with her therapy sessions, but it quickly became underwhelming when it became apparent the WWE didn’t have any plans for her.
She even voiced her frustration on social media when fans asked about when we’d get to see her.
Not as expected
Alexa recently appeared on Out of Character with Ryan Satin and she went into greater detail on her original pitch for her character.
“That was a pitch that I pitched for a very long time. It was originally a different kind of therapy because I wanted to be taken away at Extreme Rules and then come back a different version of the Dark Alexa character.
“Obviously, things change and all that jazz. I had to have surgery, so we were like, ‘Oh, perfect, it’s an amount of time to go away and give time for Extreme Rules to settle and come back with these therapy sessions.’ They were so much fun. Everyone knows I love acting and performing in that aspect. It’s something I always feel creatively fulfilled in. For me, it was my creative outlet, having the most fun I can. It was so much fun. We have a good amount of creative control and Vince (McMahon) was super awesome. From what I’ve heard, he sat down for a few hours, wrote it all out, and took the vision and made it come to life.”
Their discussion turned to the topic of whether Alexa wanted to return with a darker character, and the answer was no big surprise given how much fun she had to stretch her abilities and have fun.
“I did. I wanted it to go even darker and deeper. I had Jason (Baker) come out with a sketch and prototype of a different version of Lilly, which would have been super cool. Obviously, with creative, things always change. I’m still holding on that this new version of Lilly will come out one day. We’ll see.”
It looks like the WWE are still in the early stages with Alexa’s new character, so there’s plenty of time to wait and see what grows out of it.
Until then, we just have to wait and hope it’s going to maximize Alexa and Lily’s potential.
