Alexa Bliss on Paige’s WWE Return, Fan Criticisms, and Wanting to Improve

The Miami Herald recently held an interview with Alexa Bliss discussing Paige’s return to the WWE, Paige’s “Absolution” stable, fan criticisms of her call-up from NXT, and wanting to continue improving as a wrestler.

On the topic of Paige’s return and her Absolution stable, Alexa stated she was very happy for both Paige’s return to the WWE and for more women joining the RAW roster.

“I’m really excited we have women returning and women coming up. Our division needs it. With the women’s revolution going on, it can only help. There is no bad that can come of it because WWE is good about evolving and bringing in new talent. That’s our source. To have people coming in and returning, it’s great…I’ve only had a few matches against Paige on NXT and a few live events. To have her on Raw, I’m real excited to see her back in action. It’s nice to see her happy and healthy. I’m really happy for her.”

On the topic of fan criticisms against her call-up to the main roster, Alexa stated she agrees with people who thought she was called up too early from NXT. She also mentioned wanting to make the most of this opportunity given to her by the WWE.

“Here’s the thing. People say I was called up too soon. I thought I was called up too soon. It’s not about when you’re called up. It’s what you do with the opportunity. As long as they take advantage of every opportunity, I think it’s great to have them.”

On the topic of wanting to improve as a wrestler, Alexa stated she is always looking for ways to improve as a wrestler and credited William Regal for the career advice given during her time in NXT.

“I try to make the most of every opportunity. If you don’t, especially in WWE, those opportunities won’t come around again.

…For inspiration, I watch people. William Regal once told us he people watched when he was in the ring. He would see things that people would do. And if they annoyed him, chances are they would annoy someone else. A lot of times I’ll just people watch when I’m traveling or at the airport or living everyday life. If something annoys me and I think, ‘That’s rude.’ If I found it rude, I thought others would too. A lot of my inspiration comes from everyday people.”
