Alexa Bliss is enjoying every moment of her alliance with Charlotte Flair.
In June of this year, Alexa Bliss began approaching Charlotte Flair on-screen about the possibility of forming a tag team. The duo has since become known as ‘Allies of Convenience’ and currently hold the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.
Speaking to In The Kliq in a new interview, Bliss discussed her partnership with Charlotte Flair, revealing that she was the one who pitched the idea to WWE’s creative team.
“It’s been so fun working with Charlotte. This was something that came about very kind of randomly, we were talking to creative, and I kind of like threw it out there. I was like, well, what about- they gave me like a list of names of people who were kind of like in this little bubble of needing storyline, and I was like, ‘well, what about Charlotte?’ We have this long past. They said Charlotte’s name and I was like, yeah, we have a long past I think it would be a fun dynamic to see what do these two people who don’t normally interact get along with other people or have success with other people look like getting stuck together and that’s been super fun. We’ve been having fun with it, at our entrances that are little pushing, pulling all the 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 and it’s been great. We get to see a different side of me, a different side of Charlotte, which, I think is so fun and (to) see her kind of 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 was never really one 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, you know, allies of convenience. It’s been a lot of fun and I think that’s what kind of resonates with the audiences that we’re naturally having fun, and I think it allows the audience to have fun with us.”

Last Friday’s episode of SmackDown saw Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair accept ZaRuca’s challenge for a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match, though an official date has yet to be confirmed.
Elsewhere during the interview, Bliss stated that her NXT Homecoming appearance felt like the TakeOver match she never had. You can read more about that here.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on future plans for Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair as soon as we hear more.
