In a recent interview on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss discusses how she embraced her “dark” Alexa Bliss persona (so to speak) over the last couple of years, among other topics that were also discussed below:

Alexa Bliss on embracing her dark Alexa character: “The Firefly Funhouse stuff was so fun. It was so great. It’s definitely a moment in my career I will cherish because that was the most fun I’ve ever had. I had to have a match against Randy Orton and beat him. I made stuff fall from the sky. I made fire come out of my hands. It was so cool. Who wouldn’t want to shoot fire out of their hands? Who wouldn’t want to make stuff fall from the sky and lights flicker? That’s so cool.”

On her reaction to online criticism from fans: “With anything with the playground Alexa and Lilly stuff, there were so many negative comments from the day I started until even now. People just hate on it so much. But when I was in that persona, I didn’t care because I was having so much fun. People were invested because they were buying Lilly dolls. Girls were dressing up as dark Alexa – guys, and girls. That’s what I pay attention to. I don’t pay attention a lot to the negative comments on wrestling Twitter because I feel like you go to Twitter sometimes when you’re looking to read negative stuff. I feel like 90 percent of it is negative. With that persona, with dark Alexa, no because I was having so much fun and knew where I was going with it and my vision. I was having fun being entertained by it and the fact that it would resonate with children so much made me not pay attention to the negativity online.”
