The growth of Alexa Bliss' WWE character continued on last night's Raw, as the former 'Goddess of WWE' debuted a new gimmick during her main event with Asuka.

Bliss entered a trance roughly halfway through the bout. All smiles early on, particularly during her ring entrance, Alexa's mood shifted when Fiend-like noises started playing through the ThunderDome and the lights started flickering. From there, she was an emotionless monster.

A mid-match wardrobe change saw Bliss switch to black lipstick and a black tee, having initially worn pink. The lights took on a purple hue as she battled Asuka, completely stone-faced, spooking the Raw Women's Champion out to the extent that she didn't know how to attack her opponent. Seemingly possessed by his spirit, Bliss wrestled the rest of the clash in a manner similar to Bray Wyatt, attempting a Mandible Claw before finally hitting Sister Abigail for the victory.

Further spookiness followed after the bell as the cameras honed in on Bliss' face. She reverted back to her pink-clad character after a sharp transition, the black lipstick gone once more. The Fiend's "let me in" (mimicked by Alexa) closed Raw.
