During a recent interview with WWE on FOX, Alexa Bliss commented on the origin of her Twisted Bliss finisher, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the finisher’s name: “It used to be called the Sparkle Splash, which is very not intimidating or threatening, whatsoever. And it started off as kind of a joke, calling it the Sparkle Splash and then it kind of just caught on. But it changed to Twisted Bliss when I turned into a bad guy and we were like, ‘We need something a little more intimidating than a Sparkle Splash.’”
On the move’s origins: “The move itself is a top rope, half twisting, kinda front flip. And it used to be my gymnastics dismount off of the balance beam, and that’s kinda where it came from. The first time I ever tried it was in a crash pad ring. And I remember Lance Storm was helping out at the Performance Center, and he wanted to be the first one to take it. But then our coach made me hit the finish — at least, I wanna say 30 times on Angelo Dawkins. And made him move everywhere in the ring to make sure I could hit it at any point and not hurt anyone. So poor Dawkins took that thing about 20 to 30 times in one day.”
