Bliss hasn't wrestled for WWE since Royal Rumble 2023 (28 January), where she failed to capture Bianca Belair's Raw Women's Championship from Bianca Belair. The former multi-time Women's Champion has been off television ever since. In March, she revealed a skin cancer diagnosis, necessitating surgery to remove it from her face. Thankfully, Alexa has since been given the all-clear.

Congratulations to the happy parents-to-be!
