After being out of action, Alexa Bliss returned last week on Monday Night RAW. She underwent Sinus surgery during her time away, and now she’s back and is still in her ‘The Fiend’ gimmick.
While fans hoped to see ‘The Goddess’ back as Alexa shined in that character, that didn’t happen, but Bliss seems to have gone crazy after her loss to Charlotte at Extreme Rules.

Last week, she returned as a patient undergoing treatment for her journey back to RAW. Therapy gimmicks have already been done before, but this latest one seems to be interesting because it’s the unhinged version of Bliss getting it.
The new Alexa seemed to be funny, poking fun at the therapist, but things turned dark when the therapist made her look back on the obliteration of Lilly, Alexa’s doll by Charlotte at Extreme Rules.

After the flashback, the former women’s champion lost it and started acting crazy. This continued until the cameras cut.
Which direction will Alexa Bliss go in?
It’s interesting to see Bliss undergoing therapy for her “trauma” as it opens up two storylines- either she brings back The Goddess, or she gets revenge from Charlotte and brings back Lilly.
Both options sound impressive, but it’s more plausible that we will get the 2nd one as the Lilly merch has been selling out non-stop on WWE Shop.
According to Forbes, Lilly is the second highest-selling merchandise, just behind Stone Cold. Bliss’ merchandise’s total sales came in at over $1.6 million, trailing only Austin ($3.7 million) and John Cena.

Alexa has been WWE’s top merch seller despite not being her old self, which is proof that fans love her gimmick. She is also doing exceptionally well and making the character seem natural to her.
There is no reason why WWE will go in another direction with Alexa, as it’s a huge success. As for Lilly coming back, it’s more than possible, especially how Alexa’s character has supernatural abilities to do anything.
