10 Things We Learned From WWE 365: Alexa Bliss

9. She Was Nervous About That WrestleMania 34 Entrance

At WrestleMania 34, Alexa went one-on-one with her real-life bestie Nia Jax. It was an important night for both, but Bliss wasn't especially worried about the actual content of the match. No, she was too preoccupied with not falling off her shaky platform during that spectacular, 'Goddess' style entrance.

In the doc, we see Bliss watching nervously on as WWE's prop team steady the plinth supporting the hydraulic stage and have a go on it themselves. It wasn't until Alexa watched some heavy-set dudes weighing double what she did have a shot that she started to calm down and realise she'd be fine.

After giving it a go, she was excited for the entrance and even thanked Vince McMahon personally for making it happen. There's an awkward exchange here between boss and employee, one that's worth seeing just for some insight into how wrestlers approach, talk to and deal with Vince personally.

Oh, and Bliss is right. That entrance was totally ripped out of the HBK at 'Mania XXV playbook.
