Episode 7 of The Masked Singer season 9, titled '80s Night, aired on Fox on Wednesday, March 22, at 8 pm ET. The episode featured three singers competing against each other in a singing battle to earn a spot in the quarter-finals. One of them was reigning queen Fairy and she had to perform against two new competitors, Axolotl and Macaw.
In the first round, Axolotl sang LeAnn Rimes' Can't Fight the Moonlight in an energetic and classy way. She was able to impress the judges with her voice, but when compared to the other singers, was eliminated after the first performance itself. Her hints included pom-poms, transferring schools after being bullied, a raw steak, a gold bell, a diamond ring, and 2.3 million viewers every Monday night when she performs.
Judge Jenny guessed Axolotl's identity correctly as WWE star Alexa Bliss. Alexa is a part of the Monday Night Raw WWE series and she had a threatening eating disorder at the age of 15, which she overcame by participating in fitness competitions. Bliss was a cheerleader in school and was "jumped" by some girls as she was an "easy target."
The Masked Singer fans were surprised to see such an iconic WWE legend on stage, singing in front of so many people.

The Masked Singer fans praised judge Jenny for guessing correctly that Axolotl was WWE fighter Alexa Bliss. Fans were happy to see her on stage and praised her performance.
