During a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Tatum Paxley expressed heartfelt admiration for Alexa Bliss, describing her as a major source of inspiration. Paxley highlighted how Bliss represents a unique blend of dark, quirky, and beautiful elements that resonate deeply with her own identity.
Alexa Bliss is a huge inspiration for me, so I feel like I take all these dark, creepy, weird, beautiful things and I’m like, ‘Yes, I love all that.’ It just kind of compiles into one thing. But, I also think not really putting Tatum Paxley in one category of things in just kind of walls down, I feel like that’s what she is. There isn’t one thing to her, she’s either really up or really down. I just think that’s the beautiful part of it, it’s just this compilation of things and interest. A whole bunch of stuff.
