WWE Extreme Rules 2021 - 5 Takeaways from the show

4) The end of the Lilly era for Alexa Bliss - WWE Extreme Rules 2021

Heading into Extreme Rules 2021, Alexa Bliss was still regarded by many as a polarizing superstar. Despite the many spooky elements to her character being taken away, Lilly's presence as a part of her act remained divisive. Lilly remained because it has proven to be a merchandise seller despite some fans' disapproval of the doll.

Extreme Rules 2021 saw Charlotte Flair defend the Raw Women's Championship against Alexa Bliss. It was a solid bout with both women delivering good action throughout the duration of the contest. Charlotte got the victory by throwing Lilly in Alexa's face, nailing a big boot and finally the Natural Selection. The post-match was the overarching takeaway here.

Following her win, Charlotte Flair ripped apart the doll and beat up Alexa Bliss at ringside. Bliss was clearly distraught, breaking down into tears at the sight of her doll and best friend being torn apart. This went a little long, but it felt like a moment that WWE wanted us to remember and signaled the possible end of Lilly completely.

If this marks the end of Alexa's doll, it will be a pleasant removal from her current act to many fans. Fans could be seeing Bliss adding to her act by possibly going full Fiend with a Lilly-style mask or maybe revamping her character altogether. There have been reports that Alexa Bliss will be taking a few months following Extreme Rules 2021, so fans will have to wait and see.
