Alexa Bliss Reportedly Legitimately Injured

Alexa Bliss was pulled from Mixed Match Challenge because of what WWE said was “an arm injury at the hands of Ronda Rousey” during their match at Hell in a Cell and “Bliss began to complain of soreness on Monday before waking up with numbness in her left arm Tuesday morning.”

The numbness in her left arm is legit, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. As of now, Bliss has been cleared for “minimal exertion,” so she’ll be able to do some things, but will at least miss a few shows. She won’t be wrestling on any scheduled house shows this weekend.

She will likely be taking on a “manager” role in the meantime. She “managed” Alicia Fox and Mickie James on Raw on Monday.

Alexa was replaced by Ember Moon as Braun Strowman’s partner on Mixed Match Challenge. In a backstage video after the show, it didn’t sound like WWE planned on Alexa Bliss returning to MMC this season, with Braun Strowman saying, “I’m a little heartbroken that Alexa’s not gonna be able to make it to this Mixed Match Challenge season but I can’t think of anybody else to step up and take her place than the She-Ra right here.”
