WWE veteran Alexa Bliss recently appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss various topics, including her reaction to the pitch she made to team up with WWE legend Charlotte Flair.
Bliss said, “When I first pitched for us to be together — so I was like, ‘We’ve always been opposite of each other, right? We’ve both been against each other. You’ve never seen us team together, and I think that would be a really cool dynamic.’ And they’re like, ‘Oh man, she has all this heat,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, but, there’s a way to do it.”
On being confident that it would work:
“And because I know her and I know how amazing she is and how talented she is, I think people need to see that she’s finally kind of allowed herself to step into her own and be this perfect mix of Charlotte that we see on TV and the Charlotte that we don’t see behind the scenes and I think she’s such a nice and genuine person that it’s coming out in her work now and the fans are like, ‘Yes! This is the version of you we’ve wanted to see. We wanted to see Charlotte Flair mess up. We wanna see Charlotte Flair not be perfect. We wanna see Charlotte Flair not focus on a title. We wanna see her build real relationships. And I think that was another thing with my character too because I was always in relationships with people on TV but I always stabbed them in the back, and I think it’s fun to see this dynamic of both of us letting our guards down and having fun and I think the WWE universe gets behind how much fun we’re having because we’re genuinely having a good time together and I think that’s what really changed the whole dynamic.”
