Axolotl was the first contestant to be unmasked during The Masked Singer's Country Night. Under the mask was none other than WWE superstar Alexa Bliss.
What is an axolotl?
First things first: what the heck is an axolotl? Axolotl are a critically endangered species of salamander native to Lake Xochimilco and the canals and waterways of Mexico City. Unlike their fellow amphibians like frogs, which develop from tadpoles to frogs, axolotl never undergo metamorphosis and instead continue to live in the water and breathe through gills.
They're known for the wispy, hair-like extensions and what appears to be a big smile on their cute faces.
Now that we know what axolotls are, can we figure out who is behind the Axolotl mask on The Masked Singer?

Country Night Clues:
Celebrity Clue: A football helmet with "2.3 million" written on it. "That’s how many people watch me when I work, and that’s just on a Monday," she said.
Voiceover Clue: "I’m so excited to be a part of your world on Country Night as the Axolotl. Axo-what? I had to Google it too. It’s a mouthful, but she’s very cute and rowdy, just like me. But while I’m confident in all that now, it took a long time to get here. As a kid I was bullied so bad, I had to transfer schools. They made me feel so small and I let their words eat away at me so much, that’s what I stopped doing – eating. I almost withered away. Until one day during my darkest moment, I heard a song that helped me recover. I fell in love with the voice, and eventually the man. He helped me realize that the only way my life would be a perfect 10 was to build myself up instead of tearing myself down. Now I’m definitely not the best singer who has ever stepped on this stage, but I do promise I will embrace my inner diva and have the most fun. Xo xo!"
Who is Axolotl on The Masked Singer US? Costume clues
One thing's for sure: The Masked Singer’s Axolotl is fancy. Sporting a purple-hued sparkly jacket, white cravat and purple pants, they are the picture of style and sophistication. Their outfit perfectly matches their long pink eyelashes, feathery aquatic plumage and striking purple and pink tail.
While the costume doesn't yield many hints about who may be under the mask, it feels safe to say that Axolotl is a performer. They're confident and they know how to dazzle a crowd.
