Alexa Bliss has faced a ton of criticism for her current gimmick. Since splitting from the Fiend, Bliss has become the focal point of WWE Raw with her supernatural antics. Now with Lilly, a creepy doll by her side, Bliss’ gimmick has gone from being supernatural to sort of ridiculous. However, she has a message for her critics.

One can’t deny that Alexa Bliss is one of the greatest characters of this generation. Even as the Goddess of WWE when she held the Raw Women’s Championship, Bliss was one of WWE’s most dependable characters. But her current role has taken her to the upper echelon of character work in WWE.

Of screen, Alexa Bliss is the sheer opposite of her WWE character. No one expects Bliss to possess people on her way to the grocery store, but her work in the ring is a testament to her greatness. Despite the work she’s putting in, fans have ripped the character to shreds and labeled the supernatural gimmick too corny for the modern style of wrestling.

Alexa responded to the criticism she faced on Twitter with a sharp tweet. She claims people can say what they want, as she’s actually enjoying herself in the ring. So far, Bliss has become WWE’s most talked about performer and she’s the center of everyone’s attention.

The same people criticising Alexa are the same people who loved the Fiend and the Undertaker. Bliss might not reach the lengths of the Deadman, but she’s proven to be a far more valuable asset to WWE than Bray Wyatt.
