Alexa Bliss recently confirmed that her “Dark Alexa” character is permanently retired out of respect for late WWE star Bray Wyatt and his family. The darker persona was closely tied to her on-screen alliance with Wyatt before his passing in August 2023.
Bliss made the announcement in a Cameo video for a fan, explaining the significance of the character and why she has chosen to leave it in the past. She returned to WWE in January 2025 with a completely new character after months away from television.
Bliss Explains Decision to Retire Dark Persona
In the Cameo video, Bliss addressed questions about whether she would ever bring back the darker version of her character. She made it clear that chapter of her career is closed.
“Now, about Dark Alexa. While I love that it meant something to you, it meant so much to me as well. That chapter is very special and very close tied with my time with Bray [Wyatt],” Bliss said. “Out of respect for him and the Wyatts, I like to keep that version of myself exactly where it is. For the time, it is retired and untouched.”
Current Status in WWE
Bliss is currently teaming with Charlotte Flair in the women’s tag team division. The duo recently competed for the women’s tag team titles at WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Her new character marks a fresh direction for the former multiple-time champion as she continues her WWE career without the darker elements that defined her previous persona.
