CJ Perry speaks up about Alexa Bliss
Perry appreciated Bliss’s character transformation and also talked about it from a fan’s perspective. She believes that it takes some time for fans to adopt the new character change for any superstar.
She said, “But I feel like it took the fan — but that’s with anything. Once you have a character that’s over, her character [Alexa Bliss] was so over as The Goddess and then you reintroduce something, I think especially with the girls that are so pretty like her and then she does something that’s a little darker and not as like, ‘Oh, look at me,’ it takes, especially for the males, it takes them a second to appreciate the character work. Her character work, acting were incredible.”
