5 Signs that Alexa Bliss is the new member of the Firefly Fun House

Alexa Bliss could be in for a big change. The Firefly Fun House came into existence in late April 2019. It had been over eight months since Bray Wyatt had appeared on WWE TV and he had taken an extended hiatus to come up with a new character.

Braun Strowman, in an out-of-character interview, revealed that it was even hard for him to stay in touch with Bray Wyatt because he had gone virtually underground, obsessing over the formation of a new character.

And the Firefly Fun House eventually led to the 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt making his debut, mesmerizing the WWE Universe. He's been one of the most important characters since then and from the look of things, Alexa Bliss will be joining him.

But why Alexa Bliss? The Alexa Bliss that we've seen in NXT and the Little Miss Bliss that we've seen these past four years in WWE has been one who has dominated the women's division. More often than not, she was the "mean girl" character, up until her alliance with Nikki Cross.

Unfortunately, it seems like WWE is gutting yet another tag team in the women's division. But unlike The IIconics, this is evidently more well-thought out and planned, with a whole new direction coming. Here are five signs that Alexa Bliss is the new member of the Firefly Fun House.

#5 The 'reconciliation' between Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross

Notice the background.

Nikki Cross was looking on at the TV screen concerned when she saw Bray Wyatt announce that there was going to be a new member of the Firefly Fun House. Immediately after, Alexa Bliss came, with her look gradually changing over the weeks.

She seemed to have a reconciliation with Nikki Cross after her outburst last week, but right in the background was the Ramblin' Rabbit staring on. It was almost as if WWE was giving a direct spoiler of Bray Wyatt's announcement.

#4 Alexa Bliss' involvement since the Swamp fight

Sister Abigail?

Alexa Bliss as Sister Abigal? While Sister Abigail is a name that hasn't been mentioned much since Bray Wyatt returned in 2019, she remains a core figure in what drives his character. Bray Wyatt has his moments and sometimes, it doesn't always work, but one can't deny the incredible work he puts into his character.

Alexa Bliss is slowly being inculcated into that. The first real involvement that Alexa Bliss had with Bray Wyatt was in the Swamp Fight at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules - where she made an appearance as Sister Abigail.

However, it seemed to be a bit of a mix. While the interpretation was that she was Sister Abigail, it also had more to do with Braun Strowman and his inner journey. Alexa Bliss was once with Braun Strowman in the Mixed Match Challenge where they teased a romance angle.

The involvement in the Swamp Fight for Alexa Bliss was just the start of it and it was something that eventually spiraled onto the summer.

#3 Alexa Bliss' involvement in 'The Fiend'-Braun Strowman feud ahead of SummerSlam

Alexa bliss embracing The Fiend?

Alexa Bliss' post-Extreme Rules storyline had to do with The Fiend Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. At first, it appeared that The Fiend attacked Alexa Bliss as a way to get to Braun Strowman - but the response from Strowman was anything but that of a babyface.

Seemingly changed after the Swamp Fight against Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman was not a babyface. He said that he didn't care about Alexa Bliss - something that she didn't believe was true. It led to a rather intense confrontation and the next time that The Fiend confronted Alexa Bliss, things were different.

It was less of an attack and it was more of Alexa Bliss embracing The Fiend as she put her hand on his face. In hindsight, this may have actually been a crucial character moment. We may not have seen it at the time, but it was exactly what was leading to the change in Alexa Bliss. Nobody who crosses The Fiend stays the same.

#2 WWE moving in a new direction with Alexa Bliss

This was no coincidence

Alexa Bliss debuted on the WWE main roster in the summer of 2016 as a draft from NXT to SmackDown. While she was part of what was considered a weak women's division, WWE instantly put her in the spotlight and within months of her call-up, she was the SmackDown Women's Champion - the second woman to hold it after Becky Lynch.

During her time on SmackDown, she dominated the brand and when she moved over to RAW, the dominance only continued to grow. She was the first woman to win both the SmackDown and RAW Women's Championships and she dominated the women's division to the point where people were sick of her.

Her alliance with Nikki Cross changed a lot of things and since then, the focus was on the women's tag team titles. However, WWE decided to take things in a new direction for Alexa Bliss and she's the perfect person for the role. From her character mannerisms changing to her look and more, all of this is intentional and it's clear that WWE is taking Alexa Bliss in a whole new direction.

#1 Changing things up for Bray Wyatt by adding Alexa Bliss

The Fiend

Could Alexa Bliss be used to further Bray Wyatt's character? The Fiend Bray Wyatt has undoubtedly been the most mesmerizing character that WWE introduced in the last few years. While his "cult leader" character alongside Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman was good, it didn't seem to have the depth or potential that The Fiend has.

Unfortunately for Wyatt, it was a situation where WWE simply didn't view him as a main eventer despite an enticing character, entrance, and overall aura. Alexa Bliss might be WWE's plan to further his current character. The Firefly Fun House is still fresh and The Fiend is still protected, but WWE knows that they could risk making The Fiend stale again.

Adding Alexa Bliss would not only lead to a whole new level of interest, but it would be hitting the refresh button on Bray Wyatt again. It's not necessarily a bad thing. WWE fans can get tired of gimmicks quickly so there's often a need to change things up.
