Alexa Bliss isn't rushing back to work.
On May 30, Alexa Bliss announced that she was pregnant and expecting with Ryan Cabrera. Bliss is due in December with a baby girl.
Speaking to The Messenger, Bliss said she wants to recover and spend time with her child before heading back to WWE.
"I probably won't bounce back as fast as I hope," she 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 has been off WWE television since WWE Royal Rumble when she lost to Bianca Belair. She took time off to undergo a procedure to remove skin cancer and appear on "The Masked Singer."
"Time away is always a good thing," Bliss noted. "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.' When you're being seen on WWE three or four times an episode, you don't really have anywhere to go with your character. 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."
Bliss recently stated that WWE has extended her contract. She said in November 2020 that her contract was up in "three and a half years."
Fightful wishes Bliss the best during her pregnancy.
