Syfy ran a great piece exploring the geeky sides of both Ember Moon and Alexa Bliss. The former SmackDown and RAW Champion discussed a variety of topics including cosplay, her love of Disney, and her love of horror films.
On her love of 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.
On what fictional characters 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.
On who her favorite Disney villain is:
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.
