Did you know that Alexa Bliss pitched to work with Charlotte Flair?
When the second generation made her grand return at the 2025 Royal Rumble, nobody expected Flair to end up in an oddball pairing with Alexa Bliss. But she did. The unorthodox pairing of Bliss and Flair has gotten massive cheers from fans worldwide and a good portion of that credit should go to Bliss.
Without her recommending to pair with Charlotte, this tag team between the two would’ve never gotten off the ground. The WWE Tag Team Champion revealed on In The Kliq that she said a random pitch that resulted in the two opposites partnering up
“It’s been so fun working with Charlotte. This was something that came about very kind of randomly, we were talking to creative, and I kind of like threw it out there. I was like, well, what about- they gave me like a list of names of people who were kind of like in this little bubble of needing storyline, and I was like, ‘well, what about Charlotte?’ We have this long past.
They said Charlotte’s name and I was like, yeah, we have a long past I think it would be a fun dynamic to see what do these two people who don’t normally interact get along with other people or have success with other people look like getting stuck together and that’s been super fun. We’ve been having fun with it, at our entrances that are little pushing, pulling all the stuff that’s just us improv-ing and just having fun with it. It’s been a lot of fun. I was right."
Bliss also highlights how this tag team gives fans an opportunity to see a different side of Flair, which was much needed since her feud against Tiffany Stratton actually soured a good portion of the WWE universe against the second generation star.
"We would be successful because now we’re tag team champions and it’s been great. We get to see a different side of me, a different side of Charlotte, which, I think is so fun and (to) see her kind of open up and have fun as a character. Because we saw before just a character that was mainly going for a singles title and then my character was never really one after joining Bray, was never really focused on any titles. So it’s fun to see the mesh of the two come together as this kind of odd couple and, you know, allies of convenience. It’s been a lot of fun and I think that’s what kind of resonates with the audiences that we’re naturally having fun, and I think it allows the audience to have fun with us.”
Reportedly, these two are expected to feud in the future, though it’s unknown if that’s still the plan or not. Either way, Charlotte working with Bliss has done wonders for her character.
