#4. Extreme Rules 2021 marked the end of Alexa Biss' 'Lilly'

The Raw Women's Championship match at Extreme Rules saw Charlotte Flair successfully retain her title against Alexa Bliss. After a very physical contest, Flair defeated Bliss using a Natural Selection.

After the match, Charlotte tore-apart Lilly, who was a significant part of Bliss' current character. Bliss tried to avenge Lilly, but Charlotte took her down. After Charlotte walked out, Alexa was seen crying in the middle of the ring as fans chanted 'Thank You Lilly'.

Alexa Bliss' current gimmick is inspired by Bray Wyatt, who was recently released by WWE. Ending Lilly's character may be the company's attempt to erase the remnants of Bray Wyatt's character. This may be one of the reasons we didn't see Alexa Bliss use Sister Abigail at Extreme Rules.

On the positive side, Bliss may be bidding adieu to her current character and returning to the 'Five Feet of Fury' persona. Under this character, Bliss held multiple championships and was loved by her fans. Returning to her old persona will ensure a successful babyface run for Little Miss Bliss.
