And I think, sometimes, people get caught up in separating the character from the person. And we always get a lot of hate online its just the nature of the business."Everyone has their opinion. Were instant Yelp. So, we dont go on Yelp later on and see the reviews of our restaurant. We get instant feedback of how great or terrible we are. Its one of those things you have to take with a grain of salt, because everyone is gonna have an opinion, and everyone likes to voice that opinion. One of the best things about the reactions whether its good or bad it just shows how passionate our fan base is.WWE STAR ALEXA BLISS DISHES ON POTENTIAL PROGRAM WITH WYATT SICKS: 'YOU NEVER KNOW'"I know she was getting a lot of boos but youre making someone feel something and thats the beauty of it. . . .

Obviously, we all are but I just think thats something thats so great to see how things can change, it just shows how passionate our fan base is, how passionate we all are about this thing called wrestling. I think its a great thing, whether youre cheered or booed."Standing across from Bliss and Flair will the Rodriguez and Perez, who represent the Judgment Day faction.Perez has been on a tear since she left her mark on the womens Royal Rumble back in February.
