Did Alexa Bliss drop a few hints regarding her new character this week on RAW?

Alexa Bliss recently returned to Monday Night RAW and it appears the former WWE Women's Champion is dealing with some anger issues following the loss of Lilly.

Bliss has been taking part in some therapy sessions and seems heartbroken after being able to hand the Lily doll back to her therapist this week.

Reports suggest that there are several therapy segments to come, with Fightful noting that WWE has filmed nine of these videos and they could now air up to WrestleMania.

WWE fans have been confused by Bliss' recent segments, but it appears there could have been some Easter eggs present in the latest one.


#5. We learned that Alexa Bliss' anger issues are going to play a huge role in her new WWE character

This week's therapy session saw Alexa Bliss describe her week to her therapist, and she noted that she had found a new way to deal with her anger. Bliss repeated that whenever she was mildly inconvenienced she would take a deep breath, control her anger and move on with her day.

It appears that this could be a hint that Bliss' anger issues are going to play a key role in her character moving forward.

Bliss was obviously angry and heartbroken after Charlotte destroyed her "best friend" following their match at Extreme Rules last year, but these therapy sessions appear to have helped Bliss make real progress.

The former Women's Champion could return with a character similar to Damian Priest's where she has an alter ego that only comes out when she's angry. This would mean that Bliss would be able to retain a part of the character she has portrayed on RAW over the past few years alongside former Universal Champion The Fiend.

#2. The former Women's Champion is Lilly and she has been in her head all along

There have been some slight changes for Alexa Bliss over the past few weeks and many fans believe that these could be hints regarding her character.

Bliss only brought Lilly in after The Fiend had left which means that there is a chance that Lilly was always in her mind. Bliss was Lilly all along and she had a doll made to have her physically present.

Even without the doll, it's clear that there is someone controlling Bliss' mind and that whilst she is physically moaning the loss of her "best friend".

While Bliss didn't have anger issues before she was brainwashed by The Fiend, Lilly appears to be a problem that has been left behind following her split from The Fiend.

These therapy sessions should find the root of the issue and at some point should allow Bliss to free herself from the hold that Lilly has over her. Week by week the difference can be seen, but Bliss doesn't appear to be rid of her doll just yet.

#3. Alexa Bliss appears to be reverting back to her old character

It was quite noticeable as part of this week's therapy session that Alexa Bliss looked different. As time goes by and Bliss is forced to confront her issues, the hold that Lilly has over her looks as though it is being released.

Rumors suggest that the former Women's Champion could be set to revert back to her old persona where she was known as The Goddess. It's unclear if this is the ultimate plan for these segments, but this week Bliss was seen wearing much less dark makeup and her hair was also much lighter.

Elimination Chamber has one more slot to fill and there is a possibility that Bliss could recover in time to be added to the match.

After being out of action for almost a year, it would be perfect for Bliss to make her return to the ring and unleash the anger that she still has inside The Elimination Chamber match next weekend.

Of course, this may not be the case and WWE may decide to continue these sessions heading into WrestleMania.

#2. Is WWE building towards Alexa Bliss vs Asuka at WrestleMania 38?

Alexa Bliss now sees Lilly everywhere as she comes to terms with the fact that her best friend is gone.

When describing the person she saw at the supermarket this week, the therapist was aware that she was describing Lilly, but she could also have been describing Asuka.

The former Women's Champion is reportedly ready to make her return to the company and since Bliss is seeing Lilly wherever she goes, it's likely that she could mistake Asuka for Lilly if the two ran into each other backstage, especially if she saw Asuka from the back.

This could lead to an interesting feud between the two women if Bliss was convinced that Asuka was her best friend. There is a reason WWE had Alexa describe Lilly as having "rainbow hair" since her doll only has pink and yellow hair since she was originally seen to look like Bliss when she was first unveiled.

Bliss and Asuka have both been out of action for a number of months and it's interesting to note that The Empress of Tomorrow hasn't been seen since Lilly's demise.

#1. Alexa Bliss will not be able to move forward until she avenges Lilly

It's clear that Alexa Bliss suffered some trauma when she watched Charlotte Flair rip Lilly to pieces back at Extreme Rules.

The former Women's Champion won't be able to talk through all of these issues and it's clear that at some point she is going to have to avenge her fallen friend. Charlotte is the reason why Lilly is no longer at Bliss' side and could be the woman she decides to go after.

Charlotte has a huge main event match against Ronda Rousey in a few weeks' time and Bliss could decide that this is the perfect place for her to avenge Lilly and cost Flair her match against The Baddest Woman on the Planet.

Charlotte and Alexa Bliss have to cross paths again if the former Women's Champion ever wants to put this chapter behind her and the only way she's going to make Flair feel the way she does is to ensure that she takes away the thing that she loves the most.
