Alexa Bliss was once part of a team with Braun Strowman in WWE's Mixed Match Challenge, they were called Team Little Big and had the best chemistry in the entire competition.
Even though Strowman and Bliss didn't win, their bond became well-known and the duo has remained good friends both on and off-screen. It's thought that this is the reason why The Fiend targetted Bliss whilst looking for a way to take Strowman out of his game ahead of their match at SummerSlam.
Strowman made his opinion clear when it came to his feelings towards Bliss, which then led to Alexa Bliss slapping the Universal Champion numerous times last night on SmackDown. Could this be a sign of things to come for The Monster Among Men?
#5. Alexa Bliss could actually be captivated by The Fiend
Every person who has faced The Fiend since his debut in WWE has changed character after coming into contact with Bray Wyatt's alter-ego. The likes of Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and Daniel Bryan have all become the opposite version of themselves since their run-in with The Fiend.
Alexa Bliss spent more than a week with the masked figure and it appears that she has been able to return to WWE TV without any change of character. Strowman's loss at Extreme Rules has turned him heel and now it appears that he no longer cares about anything but revenge, Bliss has changed in a very different way and it appears that she is infatuated with The Fiend.
Alexa Bliss could be set to cost Strowman The Universal Championship because she has now had her head turned by The Fiend and actually believes that she's more than a pawn in his games. Last night on SmackDown Bliss stated that she was captivated by the masked star and this could be the start of a strange relationship between the two.
#4. Alexa Bliss could believe that Braun Strowman needs to lose the title
Alexa Bliss was taken by The Fiend two weeks ago on SmackDown and is the first person to be released by the former Universal Champion so that she can continue her duties on Friday Night SmackDown.
The former Women's Champion broke her silence for the first time since the attack last night on SmackDown and seemed to be in a very different mindset. At present Strowman has been consumed by wanting revenge against The Fiend and defending a Championship that he was never supposed to win.
It's easy to believe that Bliss could now be thinking that the only way to get the Braun Strowman back that she remembers is to take the title away and end his feud with The Fiend.
Alexa Bliss could be the most important person in this feud heading into SummerSlam and could interfere in the match to help The Fiend come out on top so that she can bring back The Monster Among Men that she recognizes.
#3. Heel turn for Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss has interestingly been able to return from a week with The Fiend without any kind of character change. This is something that hasn't happened with any of the men who have crossed the former Universal Champion in the past.
Bliss may have had a character change as well, but is waiting to unleash it until SummerSlam. Bliss could have turned heel since she was seen as a face when she was teaming with Nikki Cross but her former tag team partner then pushed her to the ground and left her for The Fiend.
The former Women's Champion seemed hurt by Braun's comments and was looking for answers that she was unable to receive last night on SmackDown. Could SummerSlam be the place where Bliss decides to turn heel and attack her former friend since this would be where Strowman would feel it most if he loses his Universal Championship.
Could a heel turn be the beginning of Alexa Bliss joining The Fiend and the duo then working together?
#2. Alexa Bliss could want revenge
Alexa Bliss was targetted by The Fiend because of her friendship with Braun Strowman, it's unknown what Bliss was subjected to whilst spending a week with the masked star, but it's thought that she would have been waiting for Braun to step up and help her throughout.
When Strowman appeared and made it clear that he didn't care about the former Women's Champion last week on SmackDown, it was obvious that Bliss was hurt. When Strowman refused to give her any kind of explanation last week, it left her feeling even more hurt, which is why she tried to slap some sense into The Monster Among Men.
Alexa Bliss obviously wasn't happy and after Strowman threw her to the ground last night she may not appear on WWE TV until SummerSlam now where she will be out for revenge and looking solely at Strowman.
Strowman once again left Alexa Bliss with The Fiend last night on SmackDown after he left the ring and attempted to play his mind games. It's easy to imagine that if Bliss can't get the answers she requires from Strowman then she will interfere in his match and force him to confront what he has become.
#1. Alexa Bliss is being controlled by The Fiend
Alexa Bliss was attacked by The Fiend two weeks ago on SmackDown when the former Champion locked in the Mandible Claw. The following week it made it appear as though Bliss had found The Fiend's weakness when she was the first person to prevent him from using the Claw.
Bliss has since been able to return to WWE TV and has stepped into the feud between the two men. Whether Strowman wants to admit it or not, Bliss is still his weakness and The Fiend is aware of this, which is why he targetted her in the first place.
Could The Fiend have only set Bliss free because he's still controlling her? After all he's found a way to keep Bray Wyatt in The Firefly Fun House and still control him when he's released and it's easy to believe he's doing the same to Alexa Bliss?
The Fiend doesn't need any help to defeat Strowman, but controlling the former Women's Champion and allowing her to strike first may make the job much easier for him.
