Axolotl was simply concerning the cutest Masked Singer costume we’ve ever seen on the present. WWE star Alexa Bliss was revealed because the lovely amphibian after her efficiency of LeAnn Rimes’ “Can’t Fight The Moonlight” within the March 22 episode. HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Alexa about how she conquered her “fear of singing” with The Masked Singer.
“I’ve had friends do The Masked Singer. I watched The Masked Singer and thought it would just be something that would be so fun,” Alexa mentioned about why she determined to do the present. “I really just wanted to face my fear of singing. I had a karaoke situation happen years ago that traumatized me. It’s so small, but it traumatized me from singing for years, especially in front of people. I just wanted to finally face that fear and finally show myself that I could get over that fear because it was such an anxiety trigger for me, but I did it and it was fun. I just wanted to go and have fun with it. It was the best experience.”
Alexa mentioned it helped that she had a “5-foot headpiece” on her as she carried out. “My husband [Ryan Cabrera] helped me a lot to kind of get over that fear in that sense because he told me right before we went out as I was starting to panic a little bit,” Alexa revealed. “He was like, ‘Hey, you’ve already faced your fear. You sang for these people already during rehearsal. You’ve done it. You’ve sung in front of people. It’s fine because this is the fun part. This is the time for you to have fun.’ It was really great having him there to help me with that.”
Despite having a large headpiece to hold throughout her efficiency, the 31-year-old admitted that it was extra “difficult to perform with the tail. I was afraid that I was going to whip someone with my tail and knock myself over or something. It wasn’t the head that was difficult. Actually, none of it was difficult. I was more concerned about my tail than my head because it really wasn’t heavy. The team created this awesome, intricate internal harness that took all the weight off my head and off my back. All the weight was in my hips, and then my shoulders.”
The Axolotl costume was positively one of many extra distinctive masks to grace the stage. Alexa instructed HollywoodLife that she solely knew what an axolotl was due to the viral TikTok development of “people using sharpies to draw around their axolotl in the tank and singing the second Secondhand Serenade song. I didn’t know it was regenerative, and I didn’t know how just like awesome they are. I just knew that one TikTok.”
When she discovered how the axolotl can regenerate itself, Alexa noticed plenty of herself within the resilient amphibian. “For me, it kind of reminds me of my WWE character,” she instructed HollywoodLife. “I’ve had to reinvent myself so many times for my own personal self. I don’t like being the same character over and over again, so being able to always adapt and evolve and move forward is kind of how I relate to the Axolotl. Plus, my husband said that I kind of looked like it.”
Alexa famous that she’s turn into a “more well-rounded person” due to The Masked Singer. “I know I can face my fears, and I know that I can do things that I never thought I could before,” she mentioned. “And now I am more comfortable doing that. There have been times when Ryan will just pull out the guitar, and we’ll both sing a song together just for fun. I would have never done that in a million years. I would have never even sang in front of my husband if it wasn’t for Masked Singer.” New episodes of The Masked Singer season 9 air Wednesdays on FOX.
