Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair both return after absences from the ring earlier this year in the Royal Rumble. While Flair went to to win the Rumble for the second time in her career, Bliss quietly went off screen for a bit after the Rumble return. Eventually, they would both be on screen and together.
Bliss and Flair are the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. They have held the gold for 75 days and counting and have defended them three times so far. While speaking with In The Kliq, Bliss describes how this partnership came about.
“t’s been so fun working with Charlotte. This was something that came about very, kind of randomly. We were talking to creative, and I threw it out there.”
“They gave me a list of names of people who were kind of in this little bubble of needing storylines and I was like, ‘Well, what about Charlotte? We have this long past.’”
“We’ve been having fun with it. You know, our entrances, our little pushing, pulling, all this stuff, that’s just us improv’ing and just having fun with it. It’s been a lot of fun. I was right we would be successful because now we’re tag team champions.”
Bliss continues, “We get to see a different side of me, a different side of Charlotte, which I think is so fun. To see her open up and have fun as a character, because we saw before just a character that was mainly going for a singles title, and then my character, after joining Bray, was never really focused on any titles. So it’s fun to see the mesh of the two come together as this kind of odd couple and allies of convenience. It’s been a lot of fun, and I think that’s what resonates with the audience is that we’re naturally having fun and I think it allows the audience to have fun with us.”
