Alexa Bliss was recently a guest on Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast. During the podcast, Alexa spoke on a wide variety of topics about her life and career. One of these topics was about her upcoming match at WWE Evolution.
Alexa was originally supposed to face Trish Stratus in a singles match at the event. This was eventually changed to Alexa and Mickie James vs Trish and Lita.
Alexa responded to rumors that the match was changed due to her being injured. Here is what she said (h/t to Wrestlezone):
“I have no idea. I know there was a lot of speculation on social media because I was injured or this, that, and the other; but, no, I think it was just the direction they wanted to go in and we were told when it was announced earlier in the day. They were like, ‘Hey it’s gonna be a tag match.’ No reason. I think it makes it exciting. I think it makes it really cool because you have Team Bestie (Trish & Lita) and the dynamic, I think it would have been – not the word a waste, I don’t want to use the word waste. I think it would have been, I don’t know. I feel like it’s a lot more fun to have Mickie involved because of Trish and Mickie’s history. It needed to be done. That’s just my personal opinion. It makes sense. Mickie and me have been teammates for God knows how long now and Trish and Lita are Team Bestie, so why not? I feel like that saw that from a creative standpoint and saw the value in that and wanted to go with it and there wasn’t anything that happened that turned it into a tag match. I think it was just what they wanted to do”
She also says that she still wants to face Trish in a singles match:
“Obviously, I wanted to have the one-on-one with Trish. I thought it would be a freaking dream come true; but, it’s still a dream come true because now I’m getting into the ring with Lita too. It’s so cool”
