11 Wrestling Easter Eggs You Totally Didn't Notice
1. Alexa Bliss Wears Barely Noticeable Contact Lens
This recent Alexa Bliss arc has proven…divisive.
Most are sensitive to the fact that the performer is doing their level best with the sh*tty material handed to her. And it is sh*tty. Really sh*tty. She is pretending to talk to the ghost of Bray Wyatt, or The Fiend, as he or what’s left of his immolated corpse plays alongside her on a swing set. She is inhabiting that spirit now, if the main event of the January 18 RAW is any indication. But he was possessing her to begin with, wasn’t he?
And it’s also very weird that she is playing on said swing set with her hair in pigtails, since this whole deal started with her stroking the Fiend’s face after teasing a romantic relationship with Braun Strowman. In a chaotic story not remotely informed by the so-called Lore of The Fiend, it would appear that WWE has gone full Seven and reimagined Alexa as a spooky horror movie kid without once considering the implication.
She is also burning Randy Orton’s face off. Randy claimed to have been burnt to a crisp and only suffered first degree burns. That WWE can’t even get the story straight in one 10 minute promo rather confirms this isn’t some grand mythology.
But.
But.
When Alexa Bliss launched that fireball in Orton’s face, her eyes look different, and not in that main roster Finn Bálor dead-behind-‘em sort of way. As stumbled upon by WhatCulture Wrestling’s own Phil Chambers, she is wearing contact lenses bearing the image of the immolated Fiend at TLC, as if that’s all she can see now. A reflection of her trauma. If that’s generous, f*ck it: Alexa deserves something.
That’s an outstanding minor detail you can almost guarantee was dreamed up by Wyatt or Bliss, and not creative.
