Alexa Bliss was recently interviewed by Bleacher Report. This was in order to promote Summerslam and her match against Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women’s Championship. Below are some of the highlights.
Alexa on how Ronda is adjusting to being a WWE Superstar so far:
“You know, Ronda Rousey is coming to WWE at such a great time because we’re a big family here, and we try to help everyone succeed. She has passion for it, which is awesome, and she respects the business, which is awesome. Everyone has been helping her and walking her through everything. Because it’s a very big challenge to come into this, go straight on the road and have your every move televised. I mean, her first match was at WrestleMania. Her second match was on Money in the Bank. They’re all high-profile matches.
She wants to learn. And at the end of the day, it takes two people to make a good match. It will be great to see how she is a year from now”
Alexa on if some were initially defensive about Ronda coming into WWE:
“Everyone was very receptive. If anyone wasn’t, it wasn’t shown.
What we do is not easy. And if someone like Ronda Rousey wants to come and be a part of what we do, and that’s her passion? That’s awesome. We had the Mae Young Classic, we had the first women’s Royal Rumble and we didn’t have a woman like Ronda. Everyone wants to be inclusive in the Women’s Evolution”
