WWE RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss recently made an appearance at a WWE 2K18 event earlier this week, and was interviewed by Brian Fritz of Between the Ropes. They discussed her SummerSlam match-up against Sasha Banks, why she’s happy to finally have a one-one-one match on a major pay-per-view (PPV), her thoughts on Talking Smack getting cancelled. Here’s what she had to say:
Getting a one-on-one match at a major PPV such as SummerSlam:
“My first SummerSlam match was last year, it was a six-women tag match – Nikki Bella’s return, which was awesome – but I’m really excited because it’s my first big singles match against only one other person, like all of the other- like WrestleMania was a multi-women match,” Bliss said. “So, to be able to have a match, one-on-one, at the Barclays Center, I’m super excited, nervous, but excited.”
Talking Smack getting cancelled and how the show helped develop her character:
“Talking Smack was amazing,” Bliss responded. “It allowed me to develop my character, in ways that if not given the opportunity on TV, sometimes you’re not scheduled to talk on TV, you’re not scheduled for a match, but with Talking Smack you got that platform to really voice your opinion, to really voice why you do the things you do in your matches and really develop and hone in on your character. It was awesome, I loved it. I definitely benefited a lot from Talking Smack. I think my character probably wouldn’t be in the position it is in without Talking Smack, because I was on it so much and I made the joke, it should be called Talking Bliss.”
