Alexa Bliss Opens Up on Tag Chemistry with Charlotte Flair: “It’s a Sister Thing”
Alexa Bliss’ 2025 has been a full-circle comeback story. After a two-year hiatus to welcome her daughter, Bliss returned with a pop at the Women’s Royal Rumble, tested herself on a solo run—including a Queen of the Ring bout with Asuka—and then found an unlikely lane alongside Charlotte Flair. By June, the pair were popping up in backstage bits and, despite Bliss dubbing them “allies of convenience,” the chemistry kept clicking.
That spark turned into silver at SummerSlam, where Bliss and Flair dethroned Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles for the first time as a duo. Since then, Bliss has opened up about why the partnership works: it feels like family. She said the following while speaking with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard:
Bliss says their on-screen rhythm flows from a “sisterly dynamic”—she leans into the “annoying little sister” energy, while Flair plays the perpetually unimpressed older sibling. The push-and-pull keeps their segments playful, their matches snappy, and the crowd guessing about which sister will take the lead next.
New Champs, New Enemies
Success paints a target, and The Secret Hervice wasted no time aiming at it. On the August 8 SmackDown, Chelsea Green crashed Flair’s birthday moment for Bliss, only for a cake spot to backfire spectacularly. A week later, Bliss outmaneuvered Piper Niven, but Green, Niven, and Alba Fyre swarmed the champs after the bell—signaling that the faction isn’t done meddling. Expect more ambushes, more mind games, and, knowing Bliss and Flair, more creative receipts.
Résumé Check
At 34, Bliss is already a five-time world champion, and now she’s added tag gold with a partner who’s a 14-time Women’s Champion. The pairing gives Bliss fresh story beats post-Rumble and lets Flair flex in a different lane as the duo fine-tune that “big sis/little sis” timing.
🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
This team works because it blends contrast with clarity. Bliss’ mischievous timing offsets Flair’s cool, surgical presence, creating a dynamic that’s fun in segments and reliable when the bell rings. Booking-wise, WWE is smart to pit them against a numbers-heavy foil like The Secret Hervice—heat is easy to manufacture, and the champs get sympathetic babyface mileage without overexposure. The key next step: a decisive TV or PLE defense that showcases their double-team identity, not just two stars sharing a corner. If they lock in a signature finish and a couple of go-to combos, this reign could have legs well past the honeymoon phase.
