In a recent interview with Ryan Satin as part of the Out Of Character podcast, WWE RAW superstar Alexa Bliss discussed several topics, including her ‘dark character’ alongside Bray Wyatt, where she took inspiration for the character from and more.

“I jumped full in, matching what Bray did with The Fiend. The amount of cult documentaries and the amount of just different scary movies and things that I would watch, and even, so for me, I wanted to kind of have my character to have a bit of an identity crisis and with that, that’s why I kind of reverted to a child’s mentality, because I know for me personally, at least to get real about it, when I had my eating disorders, it was a traumatic thing for me and my brain went back to a childlike defence mechanism, so I kind of took part of that into my character.

I remember thinking like okay, what did I like watching when I was a child, I liked watching The Big Comfy Couch and then, I got the concept of having Lilly from the girl from The Comfy Couch’s doll Molly, so I took a lot of my childhood things that I loved and brought that into the character, and then also took a part of the movie ‘The Orphan’, where the girl is like 30 posing as a child and took that into the character as well, so there was a lot of things of my real interest and real things as a child that I actually brought into the dark Alexa character.”
