The WWE Universe is familiar with some of the company’s most popular Superstars donning geeky themed gear, especially duringlarger pay-per-view events such as WrestleMania. Fans have previously seen grappling themed versions of Nightwing, Captain Marvel, and Thanos from Superstars from RAW, SmackDown and WWE’s black-and-gold brand, NXT. One Superstar who has geeky tendencies and a love for pop culture themed gear is Alexa Bliss. Having recently partnered with Square Enix forFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, Bliss revealed she would love to compete in gear based on theFinal Fantasy 7 Remakecharacter that she believes is most like her, Tifa Lockhart.
Bliss, who recently reclaimed the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside her partner Nikki Cross at WrestleMania 36 earlier this month, has previously competed in gear inspired from several different avenues of pop culture. Some of her previous gear has referenced Marvel’s Iron Man,horror icon Freddy Krueger,and DC’s Riddler and Harley Quinn. When asked if she would be open to the idea of wrestling in Tifa-themed ring gear, including dressing up her pet pig Larry Steve as a Moogle, Bliss shared her enthusiasm for the concept, calling it a “fantastic” idea.

Bliss pointed out how she had compared herself to Tifa during her recentFF7 Remakepartnership with Square Enix, adding how she may consider doing it in the future alongside whatever other comic book, movie, andvideo game related gear she might have in the works. Alongside WrestleMania, WWE’s other major events include the Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, giving Bliss plenty of opportunity to commission a Tifa-themed design.
This wouldn’t be the first time that WWE has entered into a partnership withFinal Fantasy. Popular stable The New Day paid homage to the beloved RPG franchise during the promotion’s biggest yearly event at WrestleMania 33 back in 2017. New Day members Xavier Woods, Big E, and Kofi Kingston hosted the show, with each Superstardressed up in differentFinal Fantasy 14inspired costumesthat even included a Chocobo ice cream cart and stuffed Moogles accompanying them.
Bliss is currently involved in an upcoming show entitled “Fight Like A Girl.” The show sees WWE’s Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon partner a WWE Superstar with a young woman who is struggling with a personal issue that has been holding her back. Drawing from their own personal experiences, theWWE Superstar then helps their partner to overcome obstacles, in turn becoming a tougher, stronger, healthier version of their former selves both inside and out.
Final Fantasy 7 Remakeis available now exclusively for PS4.
