WWE Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss recently spoke with The Baltimore Sun.
How she and Bayley are polar opposites:
āOh yeah, we are polar opposites. Bayley is huggable and likes to dole out high fives. I could care less if anyone likes me. I donāt want to touch people, come on. That just makes our rivalry just that much better because we are such opposites that the feud clicks. In the ring, I just find a lot of joy in taking everything that she has away. If she goes to high five someone, Iām going to hit her after she high fives them. Itās just a lot of fun, and makes the feud that much better.ā
Bayley being the underdog despite being bigger:
āHereās the thing with that, Bayley does a great job of doing what she does. She has her strengths. Obviously, she is the ultimate underdog, and I donāt think that my size has an impact on that. I feel like I have a big enough attitude to be 6 feet tall. I think that helps a lot. I just have to make sure that my attitude is big enough to keep it so that nobody likes me. And Bayley knows what sheās doing; she wouldnāt be in the position that sheās in if she didnāt know what she was doing and wasnāt such an amazing underdog.ā
How she is preparing for tonightās match:
āNo, I have never. I am quite nervous about it actually. I have hit Bayley with that thing so many times and I have a feeling that she really wants to get me back for that. Iām actually kind of nervous about trying to reach the thing. Itās a race to see who can get to it first. I donāt know if you know this, but Iām 5 feet tall. I donāt know if I can reach all the way up there to grab that stick. Do I let Bayley grab it first and then take it away from her? I donāt know. Thatās what my main concern is, what if I climb up there and then just canāt reach it? Iām hoping that doesnāt happen, but if it does, Iāll have to do whatever it takes to get it down.ā
