Alexa Bliss might be portraying one of pro wrestling's most divisive characters at the moment, but it doesn't sound like the WWE Raw star cares much for the criticism thrown her way every Monday night.

"They can say what they want... but I'm actually having fun," tweeted Bliss on Wednesday, accompanied by a picture of her wrestling Shayna Baszler at last week's Hell In A Cell 2021 pay-per-view.

Alexa's move towards the supernatural began through her dalliances with Bray Wyatt last year. Fully absorbed into The Fiend's reality-bending world by the end of 2020, she eventually took full control of Bray's domain when Wyatt lost a Firefly Inferno match with Randy Orton in December, writing him off for several months.

The ensuing period saw Bliss torment Orton with fireballs, black goo, and other Fiend-adjacent magic, before Wyatt returned in the run-up to WrestleMania 37. Bray lost to Orton after getting distracted by Alexa's ooze that night - and he is yet to appear since.

The most divisive component of Bliss' act, Lilly, was sent into what will likely be a temporary hiatus last week, with Alexa putting the possessed doll on ice as WWE prepares for fans to return in July.
