She wrote WWE should have thanked him publicly for coming up with such incredible gimmicks time and time again, especially The Fiend. Mickie added WWE did not know how to book Wyatt/The Fiend, but they gave the gimmick to Alexa Bliss and are making money off of it while they release the original creator due to ‘budget cuts.’
Mickie James further clarified she has nothing against Alexa Bliss and in fact, loves her. She added that every artist/wrestler takes up any role they’re given and turns it to gold. Alexa did the same. However, she also stated that the fact still remains and it is that WWE took Bray Wyatt’s gimmick and gave it to Alexa.
This isn’t against Alexa. I love her. She’s an incredible performer who is killing it in a role she was given. She always does. We as artists take every role we’re given & turn it into gold. He, she, they both did that. Like it/not. Facts are facts. So sorry if that offends you.
