Top WWE Star Calls Bray Wyatt A ‘Creative Genius’

WWE

Bray Wyatt has often times been credited for his creative mind, both by fans and by his peers in WWE.

One person who worked closely with Bray was Alexa Bliss, who became part of his character from 2020 until his WWE release in July 2021.

Alexa spoke about her time with Bray to BT Sport’s What Went Down, where she spoke him helping her step up her game.

She said:

“He is such a creative genius that it made me want to step my game up. We had had conversations before, but not like this.

“So whenever he would say, ‘Okay, so I have this idea for this, this, this, and this,’ it made me realize that I’m on this fast-moving train, and I either have to step up or get the hell off. So it was one of those things. He’s a fast-moving train.

“He’s creatively always going, always thinking, always thinking of the next thing, always saying, ‘Hey, have you seen this documentary? Watch this documentary, watch this because there’s something here you can take from John Wayne Gacy, there’s something you can take from the Manson situation. There’s all these things you can take from.’

“So I’ve never put so much research into a character as I did when I was with Bray, and I think that’s why it was so fun for me, too. I was doing something completely different, but I was also taking things from real life and putting it into a character for the first time, so it was really cool,”

Alexa continued on, detailing the pitches that Bray would make as part of their character, and how he helped her come up with the concept of Lilly.

She added:

“He’s such a creative genius. He has all of these ideas. Some of them are way out there that you have to reel in. You’re like, ‘Okay, I don’t think we can do that.’

“But then there’s all these things, he just has all these concepts and all these ideas that are just so good. It was so fun to be able to sit down with him and just bounce ideas back and forth. But because working with him, now I have almost unlocked a different side of my brain creatively to where now I get these ideas that I can pitch and try to portray, and it’s just so much more.

“Because of him, I was able to come up with the concept for Lilly, so it was cool. It was really cool,”

Wyatt made his return to the company back at the Extreme Rules event in October.

While he has yet to wrestle a match, he has been a part of segments on SmackDown every week since his return, and is currently in a feud with LA Knight.

Alexa spoke about Wyatt’s return, stating that she’s glad he is back, as she felt that there was a character void in the company without him.

She said:

“Obviously he’s such a key part of WWE, and such a presence and character that it’s so great that he’s back because I feel like there was this character void, and the fact that he’s back, and you need that creative energy around for sure.”

In the same interview, Alexa explained how working with Wyatt was the most fun she has had in her career, which you can read here.
