Alexa Bliss discussed what led to the forming of her tag team with Charlotte Flair during a recent interview.

Bliss appeared on the In The Kliq podcast to promote Friday’s edition of WWE SmackDown, which will take place at the SAP Center in San Jose. She was asked about how her team with Flair began and responded that she pitched the idea to WWE creative.

Bliss said:

“t’s been so fun working with Charlotte. This was something that came about very, kind of randomly. We were talking to creative, and I threw it out there.”

“They gave me a list of names of people who were kind of in this little bubble of needing storylines and I was like, ‘Well, what about Charlotte? We have this long past.’”

“We’ve been having fun with it. You know, our entrances, our little pushing, pulling, all this stuff, that’s just us improv’ing and just having fun with it. It’s been a lot of fun. I was right we would be successful because now we’re tag team champions.”

“We get to see a different side of me, a different side of Charlotte, which I think is so fun. To see her 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, 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 allies of convenience. It’s been a lot of fun, and I think that’s what resonates with the audience is that we’re naturally having fun and I think it allows the audience to have fun with us.”

Bliss and Flair won the tag titles at SummerSlam this year, defeating the then-champions Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez of Judgment Day. They’ve since successfully defended the belts three times on WWE programming: against Judgment Day again on the August 4 episode of Raw, against The Culling’s Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley at NXT Homecoming, and against Alba Fyre and Chelsea Green on the September 19 episode of Raw. Bliss has now held the tag titles four times with three different partners: twice with Nikki Cross, once with Asuka, and now with Flair.
