Alexa Bliss On Her Old WWE Gimmick: "I Miss That Version Of Me Too"
Alexa Bliss takes aim at her current WWE Raw character direction.
Alexa Bliss' new character direction continued on last night's episode of WWE Raw, as she swept Doudrop aside in her latest quickfire Monday night victory since returning as a full-time regular earlier this month.
Raw announcer Corey Graves has made a point of suggesting that Bliss has been working with less ruthlessness and intensity since returning from her hiatus. Clearly, this is a character direction WWE is attempting to take with Alexa, who, despite no longer leaning as heavily on her former Fiend-isms, still carries her toy doll, Lilly, to the ring.
This latest Bliss run was preceded by talk that the former Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion may return to her old 'Goddess' persona following a series of counselling segments earlier in the year. This hasn't happened thus far, but Alexa herself appeared to acknowledge the discourse on Twitter after Raw:-
To be fair … I miss that version of me too ??

Bliss is currently 4-0 since returning in early May, having defeated Sonya Deville (twice), Nikki A.S.H., and now Doudrop during this run. Previously, she came back to WWE at Elimination Chamber 2022 before vanishing for another two-and-a-half months without apparent reason.
The 'Goddess' character's blueprint was drawn during Alexa's time managing Blake and Murphy in NXT in 2015, making it to the main roster the following year.
