Syfy recently interviewed Alexa Bliss. During the interview, she discussed her love of cosplay, her favorite Disney villain and more.  Here are the highlights:

Alexa On Cosplaying:

I started cosplaying back when I was with Blake & Murphy; we decided that we were going to do an Iron Man gear, and that was the first one. It was so much fun to bring a little bit of our personal interests into the ring — especially because sometimes, when you’re so set in the storyline, in the character, you kind of lose who you are outside of that. So I love to take a lot of different inspiration for my gear, and I’m a big horror movie fan so I’ve done Freddy [Krueger], which was probably my favorite; and Chucky, which took me about a year to be able to actually do it. Because first it got turned down, and so then I kind of had to sneak it in on Halloween last year. I did one outfit that was Harry Potter colors, but I just wore it for one of the pay-per-views. Yeah, I’ve done a lot of cosplay stuff, and it’s a lot of fun.

Alexa On Fictional Characters That Inspired Her As A Kid:

Mulan was the first female character that I realized was empowering as a woman. It’s obviously a fake story, but she went to battle for her father. She didn’t want her father to be drafted in the war, so she went herself. That was the first time I really saw a really strong female character growing up. ‘Cause I did grow up watching mostly Disney.

Alexa On Her Favorite Disney Villain:

Maleficent. I loved the movie. I thought it was great. I loved it. I thought the graphics were amazing. And it’s so cool when Disney remakes these and you see the villain’s point of view as well. It’s just so cool, and it always adds such a great aspect to everything. And the Alice in Wonderland movie that came out was awesome. They have The Nutcracker that’s getting ready to come out. I’m really excited to see that.
