The five-time Women’s Champion made a special appearance as a scareactor, stepping into her own twisted history with the Wyatt legacy. Universal confirmed Bliss’s unannounced visit, sharing footage that shows her lurking in the fog, startling guests, and fully embracing the eerie persona that once dominated WWE programming.
The House That Fear Built
Also featured at Universal Studios Hollywood, “WWE Presents: The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks” invites guests into the psychological and supernatural world of one of WWE’s darkest factions. The experience blends wrestling mythology with horror theatrics, allowing fans to explore scenes inspired by the unsettling imagery that defined Bray Wyatt and his alter ego, The Fiend.
Universal’s creative team worked with WWE to craft a house “inside the maniacal minds” of the Wyatt Sicks — a spiritual successor to Wyatt’s “Firefly Fun House” and “House of Horrors” storylines that blurred the line between reality and nightmare. Guests traverse through distorted environments, echoing cult imagery, eerie puppetry, and familiar catchphrases like “Let me in.”
Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt: A Twisted Partnership
Bliss’s connection to Bray Wyatt is rooted in one of WWE’s most talked-about storylines of the past decade. The partnership began in summer 2020, when Wyatt — portraying The Fiend — began targeting Bliss following her association with Braun Strowman. Their chemistry quickly evolved into something darker, with Bliss adopting supernatural traits mirroring Wyatt’s own.

Throughout late 2020 and 2021, Bliss appeared alongside The Fiend in cinematic segments and live matches until she dramatically turned on Wyatt in a moment that shocked fans worldwide.
WWE described Bliss’s character during this era as “hauntingly unpredictable and psychologically unhinged,” drawing inspiration from horror archetypes while adding an emotional depth rarely seen in wrestling. The pair’s work helped redefine the boundaries between storytelling and spectacle, cementing both performers as creative innovators within WWE’s modern era.
