Charlotte Flair has been having a “friends of convenience” with Alexa Bliss over the past several weeks. Going between friends, enemies, one can say they are frenemies.
Flair and Bliss will team up this Sunday at Evolution in an attempt to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Current champions Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez will be defending in a Fatal Four Way that also includes The Kabuki Warriors and ZaRuca.
While speaking with USA Today ahead of Evolution, Flair discussed her current character and is hopeful that teaming with Bliss will bring out more from her character.
“Don’t tell her this, but I adore her,” Flair said.
“I think trying to blend the two will just add layers to ‘The Queen’ that we’ve seen so stoic for so many years. Pushing myself to get outside of my comfort zone of what The Queen is and what does that look like? Is it the mad queen? Is it the killer queen? Is it the unraveled queen? Is it best friends with Lexi and being a twisted queen?”
She adds, “How do I push myself as a performer to take what I’ve done to the next step, and whether that means winning gold or not winning gold? I’m okay with that,” Flair said. “I just want to challenge myself, because I do love this.”
