Alexa Bliss Says She’ll Be Back in the Ring “Pretty Soon”

Alexa Bliss was interviewed by Lilian Garcia at ACE Comic Con in Glendale, Arizona yesterday and talked about her injury status, saying that she plans on coming back “pretty soon.”

She has been out of action since October 20 due to suffering multiple concussions in a short period of time. In December, Mark Henry said that he spoke to Alexa and that she told him she was “100% cleared” to return, but Dave Meltzer later reported that she actually has not been cleared yet.

Here’s what Alexa had to say yesterday:

“It was one [concussion] that happened and then I went back too soon and reaggravated it.

I plan on coming back pretty soon. It’s been – you know WWE is very careful when it comes to us with concussions, and any injury, and we have the best of the best taking care of us, and you have to go through concussion protocol. And everyone’s just being, you know, precautious. Which, they should, you know – it’s a brain, you only get one. Can’t trade it out for another.

So I’ve been doing really well. I’ve been training at the Performance Center, I’ve been training in the ring there, so there’s definitely hope for me getting back in the ring relatively soon. It just depends on, you know – it’s a brain. You can’t really tell it to heal and it’s – my MRIs and everything look good, and neurologists say I look good, and as long as I don’t have symptoms. Cause that’s the thing. If you feel good, and you know you’re good and you go in the ring and you have a symptom, you have to start all the way from square one… Like if you get a headache, or memory loss, something like that. But I’ve been doing good, I’ve been feeling good, and hopefully sooner than later I’ll be doing Moment of Bliss and in the ring.”

She was then asked if she was considering transitioning away from being a physical performer:

“No. It’s where I belong. It is my brain, but in the ring is where I want to be. That’s why I came to WWE, and I wanted to be a performer and I wanted to be in the ring, and I miss it so much, cause that’s where we have our fun. I love talking to people and shutting down the ‘what’ chants as much as any person but I want to be an active member on the roster and I want to be there for people’s moments. One of my favorite moments in WWE was when I got to be in the match with Nia when she won the title, even though it was from me. It was so cool having a match with your best friend at WrestleMania. I want those moments.”
