Being one of the most popular superstars in the current WWE locker room, Alexa Bliss’ long absence was duly noticed by the fans. Amid no proper reason being given behind the hiatus, fans were really worried about her WWE future. Now after her pregnancy announcement, they were further assured about the continuation of her WWE career as a mother.
In a recent interview with The Messenger, Alexa Bliss revisited the short timespan on TV in January 2023. She revealed that WWE extended her contract earlier in 2023, at a point when she took a hiatus from the company’s TV programming to participate in The Masked Singer competition. This was the reason that she missed Wrestlemania 39 but in return, she got to experience something new.

Alexa Bliss also went on to reveal that she plans on returning to the squared circle following her pregnancy,
“WWE gave me time off for [Masked Singer] to kind of fully dive into that experience with rehearsals, vocal lessons, and all that stuff. Storyline-wise, I was not on TV anyway, so it really kind of worked out perfectly. [WWE] extended my contract, and so it’s just basically come back when I’m ready. Probably a month after the baby, I’ll start probably getting back into the gym, and getting ready to see what my in-ring return looks like.”
