Alexa Bliss On Her Mic Skills, Favorite Promo

WWE Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss recently did a Q&A session with BleacherReport. Here are some of the highlights:

Alexa Bliss on her mic skills and who she attributes her abilities to:

I attribute them to the NXT promo classes. I wasn’t used to performing and speaking, and after my first promo class, I was so upset and nervous that I cried. But William Regal always said that if I’m not comfortable with something, I should put myself into that uncomfortable situation to beat it. That’s one thing that I’ve always taken with me.

Once, I was never able to speak in front of more than three or four people. Now, I feel at home. I love doing the in-ring promos more than doing the backstage promos because I love being able to interact with the crowd. That’s where I found my passion. Obviously, wrestling is a lot of fun, and I love it. But on the mic is where I have the most fun.

On which promo was a good turning point for her character:

The Bayley “This Is Your Life” segment! No, I’m kidding. I’m totally kidding. I get a lot of flak for that.

When I had the Raw Women’s Championship, I made the crowd chant, “You deserve it!” I was told that was one of my better “interacting with the crowd” promos. And I was told that by Paul Heyman, who told me that I lured the [audience] in and took them on a ride.

Also, there was the Elimination Chamber promo, where I cried after winning the match and then turned on the crowd. That was a diverse promo where I was able to show a range. It was really cool to have a real emotional moment and then to have to snap back into character. That was probably my favorite promo, personally.
