5. Alexa's Creepy Speech

Spooky little bitch Alexa Bliss is the best kind of Alexa Bliss.

Sure, this mini-feud between Kevin Owens and Bray Wyatt is one WWE will probably forget about within the week, but it'll serve some purpose by furthering Wyatt's association with Bliss. Plus, Alexa's performances throughout this entire "change" have been great. She's so much more interesting now.

Bliss never had this kind of intrigue when she was high-fiving Nikki Cross, drinking coffee or hosting snooze-worthy 'A Moment Of Bliss' skits. Her creepy speech about having her "brain washed" by "him" (The 'Fiend') was suitably unnerving, and KO's reactions were realistically agitated.

Alexa has spoken to the media about character work being her passion, and it shows. She must be loving this chance to explore that side of things and work with a top-level gimmick like Wyatt's 'Fiend'. Long may it continue.
