WWE also released a statement along with the announcement of this match.
“The Fiend continues to have some sort of hold over Bliss, as the energetic Superstar has snapped into a trance multiple times in recent weeks. After falling to Nikki Cross, Evans uttered The Fiend’s name, and Bliss once again fell into a hypnosis-like state before dishing out Sister Abigail.”

Don’t say his name in front of Alexa Bliss
This started last week on SmackDown when Bliss looked her old self on her talk show. This time, she was the guest as the show was hosted by her best friend Nikki Cross.
Lacey Evans soon interrupted the show and picked up a fight with the former Sanity member. This led to an impromptu match-up which was won by Cross.

As Bliss was enjoying her best friend’s victory, an angry Lacey Evans approached her and uttered those forbidden two words – ‘The Fiend.’
An irate Alexa Bliss delivered a vicious sister Abigail to the unsuspecting Evans. Needless to say, Evans’ strategy should be to avoid mentioning The Fiend.

Alexa Bliss hasn’t reached there yet but is slowly evolving into a much darker character. This character transformation is certainly one of the best seen in recent years.
On the other hand, Bray Wyatt hasn’t been in any active storyline since his loss at Payback. It will be interesting to see Bliss and Wyatt finally confront each other and take this storyline to the next level.
