Alexa Bliss was interviewed by the New York Post and was asked about Nia Jax, who was recently given a “leave of absence” by WWE management. Alexa and Nia frequently travel together and Alexa has previously called her her “best friend.”
“We have talked about it a lot,” Bliss told The Post. “Whatever she is going through, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a leave of absence. She’s taking some time off because our schedule it very grueling. It’s very, very demanding. There are times where you are run down and your body can’t do it anymore and you get sick or you get injured from it and you get tired.
“So, I feel like everyone needs a reset every once in a while. In NXT I took a few resets and it was never like public knowledge, but we all need them. We all take them once in a while. I am happy when she comes back. I feel like everyone needs that refresher week or refresher moment.”
When asked if she thinks Nia will be back “sooner rather than later,” Alexa said:
“Absolutely, no doubt in my mind.”
