WWE Smackdown Live star Alexa Bliss recently spoke with Evening Express UK in advance of WWE’s upcoming live event in Aberdeen, Scotland. You can read a few highlights below:
Alexa Bliss comments on facing Becky Lynch for the WWE Smackdown Live women’s championship:
“I did not expect to fight for the title so soon but I am going to run with it and take the title from Becky. I believe I deserve the title as I am what the New Era should look like. Becky, Sasha (Banks), Charlotte and Bayley paved the way to start this women’s revolution. But I am the evolution of the revolution – I am here to bring the New Era.
It doesn’t matter if Becky is six inches taller than me and stronger as I am going to use my height and size to my advantage. I am going to show that when obstacles are put in your way you can make the most of them.”
Bliss comments on the differences in fighting styles between herself and Becky:
“The big difference between me and Becky is she is a submission specialist and I like to hit hard. Becky also believes in playing fair whereas I believe there is no fair in fighting and you do whatever you have to do to win the title.”
Bliss comments on the shock of being drafted to Smackdown:
“I was really shocked as you have no idea who is being drafted. We were all sitting at the Performance Centre waiting to see whose picture would go up on the show.
As soon as my picture went up I dropped and began crying. It was such an emotional experience and I was overwhelmed. I had been in NXT for more than three years and it felt like all that hard work had paid off. Now I want to push myself to the limits to see what I can do.”
