Alexa Bliss decided to have a small Q&A session with her fans. A fan chimed in and asked Bliss if she would ever return to the squared circle. To which the former Raw Women’s Champion replied by saying yes.
“Yep!” Alexa Bliss tweeted.
Alexa Bliss on the benefits of taking time off
During an interview with The Messenger, Alexa Bliss revealed that she will not be able to return to the squared circle any time soon.
“I probably won’t bounce back as fast as I hope,” Bliss said. “I’m going to get to working out and doing all that stuff and get to where I need to be, you know, to have time. [I’ll have] the first fundamental months with the baby before thinking about trying to rush back to work.”
Bliss also revealed that taking some time away from TV always helps in the growth and evolution of one’s character.
“Time away is always a good thing,” Bliss said. “When it comes to WWE, time away and reinventing a character and evolving yourself is the key to career longevity at WWE. So I always say, ‘Time away is such a good thing because it gives people the time to miss you.’”
Five-Feet of Fury also addressed the hardships of being a WWE Superstar and thus, it is better to take some time off to help benefit her character development.
“When you’re being seen on WWE three or four times an episode, you don’t really have anywhere to go with your character,” Bliss said. “So whenever you take time off, it’s always a good time to evolve and to keep going. And I’ve already been probably six or seven different versions of myself. And each time it’s done well with merchandise sales, with bookings and all that stuff. So I don’t really like to go backwards with my work. I always like to go forward.”
