WWE star Alexa Bliss spoke with the The Messenger about her pregnancy and life in WWE after her first daughter is born later this year. Some highlights from the conversation:
On her excitement for new WWE opportunities post-pregnancy:
"Time away is always a good thing. 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.'"
How taking a step back will actually make her stronger than before:
“When you're being seen on WWE three or four times an episode, you don't really have anywhere to go with your characte. 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."
When she’ll return to the ring:
"I probably won't bounce back as fast as I hope. 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."
On how her cravings are getting the best of her:
"I also could be eating a lot healthier. But I do get into the cravings. "My mom even said, she's like, 'Lexi, you don't have to get into every single craving,' but I do."
On her dislike of having photos taken:
"I'm so awkward when it comes to photos," she revealed. "I remember WWE, a long time ago, used to book all of us on photo shoots, and I was always so awkward. And now I don't get booked on any of them — and it is the best thing ever. So I just don't think that that's something I'm going to do. Maybe, like, a cute pregnancy shoot with Ryan, but not like a boudoir. Because I'm not going to lie right now, I feel everything but sexy."
