Alexa Bliss won’t be in any hurry to return to WWE after her and husband Ryan Cabrera welcome their first child in December. The pregnancy was announced May 30th by the expecting parents.
Bliss recently spoke with The Messenger and stated she wants to spend time with her daughter and recover before she heads 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.”
Alexa Bliss on returning to WWE
Alexa has been off of WWE TV since the Royal Rumble where she was defeated by Bianca Belair. While away she appeared on FOX’s “The Masked Singer” and had a procedure to remove skin cancer.
“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.”

BodySlam would like to say congratulations to Bliss and Cabrera on upcoming birth of their daughter.
