– During a recent interview with Metro.co.uk, Alexa Bliss revealed that he current WWE character is too close to who she is in real life which she isn’t happy about. She said “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! Now I’m in this limbo of, I don’t really now where I’m going with my character yet…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. I’m stuck trying to figure out what that is, especially after therapy, after taking away all the aspects of what the dark, evil Alexa was. But still having Lilly and being able to understand that Lilly is now an accessory, not as a focal point.”
