Various News: Alexa Bliss on How She Came Up With Her Harley Quinn-Inspired Look, Emma Interviewed by Australian Show, and DDP Set for SyFy’s Superstition

– The New York Post recently interviewed WWE Superstar and Raw women’s champion Alexa Bliss this week. Below are some highlights.

Alexa Bliss on where the inspiration from her character came from: “That’s exactly what I wanted to do. I remember telling my mom, because my mom used to help me out with my character a lot. I was telling her I want to be that mean girl that everyone knew in high school. Everyone knew that girl. There was always that one girl that was rude that was mean, but everyone still wants to know what’s going on with her. I get a lot of inspiration from a lot of different villains and different movies.”

Bliss on why people connect with the character: “Absolutely, I take inspiration from people who were not nice to me in high school (laughs), try to focus that. I feel like that is something everyone can relate too, even if you were that girl. People knew who that was and how to relate to it.”

Bliss on why she opted for the Harley Quinn look for her character: “I did a lot of cosplay when I was with (Wesley) Blake and (Buddy) Murphy when I was in NXT. We had a Harley Quinn and Joker trio outfit that we never got to do. I remember saying to (my fiancée) Murphy, ‘I really want to still do this Harley Quinn one’ and he was like ‘you should’. So we worked on the outfit and got it all together. He actually came up with the pose with the belt (behind my neck and right shoulder), which is funny. That has transitioned into how I hold the title. That was where it came from. It was an idea we had in NXT. Everyone knows I can do the cosplay thing on the main roster. I went for it and it worked out pretty well.”
