On this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, the one and only Alexa Bliss joins the twins for a real, raw, and fun conversation about wrestling, motherhood, and personal evolution. From sneaking into the Royal Rumble with zero sleep to balancing dropkicks with diaper bags, Alexa opens up about returning to the ring, reinventing herself, and navigating life as a new mom. The three of them get into everything—from Fanatics Fest chaos to the art of building characters, and why becoming a mother changed how Alexa sees everything, including herself. She shares stories about baby Hendrix (who LOVES to watch her mom wrestle), the legacy of Bray Wyatt, and why the women’s division is stronger and more respected than ever. And you don’t want to miss a hilarious round of “Bliss or Miss.” The episode finishes up with a much-needed reminder that this journey is a marathon, not a sprint.

I know.
Brie Bella
Love her. That's right. So today on the Nikki and Bri show, we have a history making Superstar and one of the most dynamic performers in the ring. She's a champion and the first woman to win both the Raw and SmackDown women's titles. She made her WWE return this year and continues to prove that she's a force to be reckoned with. Everyone, please welcome one of our faves, Alexa Bliss. Hello.
Nikki Bella
Hi.
Alexa Bliss
Thanks for the intro. That's so nice.
Brie Bella
Oh, yes. I feel like I could have. There could be even more on.
Nikki Bella
I was just gonna say I feel like we could have added a lot more, but it was.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, no, no, no. Keep it. That was. That was perfect. Thank you for having me.
Nikki Bella
Yes.
Brie Bella
I love it. Well, you know what? First I want to get into Lexi. How was Fanatics Fest for you?
Alexa Bliss
Oh, my gosh. That was. That was intense. Yeah, that was really intense. We. We got in at like 3am or I got to the hot, woke up at 6, had Kim this. This my very sweet makeup artist in New York. She came and did my glam and I'm just sitting there like half awake while she's just doing the most to help me look awake. And we get there, it's 11am we went straight to autograph signings. Like it was like back to back to back to back to back. But it was so fun. It was super intense, but it was a lot of fun because I haven't done Fanatics Fest before, so it was really cool.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
So everyone seems to have had, like, a great time.
Brie Bella
Oh, no.
Nikki Bella
But everyone's reaction, same, like, holy smokes. It's, like, intense, but.
Brie Bella
Well, yeah, because Saturday was sold out. It was 20, 000 fanatics.
Alexa Bliss
Wow.
Brie Bella
And then there was a lot of us backstage, like pro athletes. So it was, like, amazing. Crazy. Did you play the games at all?
Alexa Bliss
No, I didn't get put on any of the games. I was the. What did I do? I did the fanatics live on Instagram. That was my outside activity. Yeah. But I saw everyone doing the games and I was like, that looks like so much fun. I was like, I could have. I'm very competitive. I could have played some of those games and it would have been awesome. But, you know, I think it's better that I didn't because I was half.
Brie Bella
Asleep the whole time, honestly.
Nikki Bella
Well, did you get in? 3:00am from home?
Alexa Bliss
So, like, from Smackdown. We did Smackdown Blue. We got. We got on the plane at, like, I wanna say, midnight. And I'm a very nervous flyer. I was, like, having the biggest anxiety. I don't like small planes. Small planes freak me out more than anything in this world. I don't know why. It's a new. It's a new mom anxiety. Okay. Which we'll get to. You know, the things that used to not scare you but now terrify you since you're becoming a mother. I had the worst flying anxiety to the point where the flight attendant was like, hi, I heard we have a nervous flyer. And everyone, like, pointed at me and she was like, can I get you a drink? And I was just like, yes, you. And I was so scared. But we. We took off around, like, I want to say, 12:31am and didn't get to the hotel till 3. So, yeah, it was pretty aggressive.
Nikki Bella
I wouldn't be able to function.
Alexa Bliss
Like, oh, I had coffee.
Brie Bella
Honestly. Yeah, coffee, coffee, adrenaline. But no, Bri, when you. When you get back in and I feel like you just do it. You just. You know, I mean, you guys, I.
Nikki Bella
Was in bed last night, 8:45, sound asleep by 9, and I woke up at 6.
Alexa Bliss
See, that's. That's. I got used to that. That's what I got used to with being on maternity leave. I was like, okay. In bed, like, 8:45, I'm in my comfy cozies. I'm rubbing my feet together with my little drink in Bed. Like my little tea. Get ready to go to bed. And then when they're like, oh, no, smackdown starts at eight, I'm like, that's my bedtime. What do you mean?
Brie Bella
How has it been adjusting to that?
Alexa Bliss
Oh, it's been fine. I. I said it's aggressive, but it's fine. It's fine because we. We travel back and forth so much from LA to Orlando. So it's, It's. I'm used to staying up later now with the time change, so it's been fine. And it's. We don't have live events really, so it's. It's, you know, you come in, you do TVs, and you go on your merry way. So I was like, I can suck it up for TVs. It's fine.
Nikki Bella
Totally. Yeah. And Brian and I always say this. I don't know if you two feel the same way, but when you go and you're doing something for yourself so you don't have to wake up early on no sleep to, like, take care of the kids, it feels easier. It's like when you have. You're on no sleep and you wake up and you have to make school lunches. You're racing to get everyone to school, making sure everyone's brushed their teeth, faces are washed. You know what I mean?
Alexa Bliss
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Sometimes those feel harder than, like, okay, like, I'm here. I have to get, like, when you and I will go to New York. And I'm like, okay, we're on a couple hours of sleep, but I have to get in glam and all that feels easier to get through the day.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah, I feel. I understand that. Because I feel like you're, You're. You don't have to be as on. Right. Because it's something like you're. Yeah, you can zone out because you're doing it for you. You're not making sure that, you know, little humans have everything they need and that they're, you know, well taken care of. Because then you have to be on.
Brie Bella
Totally.
Nikki Bella
I agree. Well, Alexa, so we're on the road to evolution and Evolution. The last one that WWE had was in 2018. And unfortunately, you were injured during that reveal, which. So sad. You know, I didn't even remember that until Nicole and I were talking. I'm like, oh, my gosh.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah, I got like, same.
Brie Bella
Same as Live. By the way, they both got injured right before Columbus, Ohio TV leading up to Evolution. No, I just got goosebumps going against a legend too. Because you were going to have a story With Trish. Trish, right.
Alexa Bliss
I was, Yeah, I was going to have a story with Trish. It was going to be a tag team. Me. Well, first it was supposed to be me and Trish, and then it got turned to me and Mickey versus Trish and Lita, and then I got taken out and then it became Foxy and Mickey versus Trish and Lita, I believe.
Nikki Bella
Wow.
Alexa Bliss
I was concussed. If I got it wrong, it's. I don't remember.
Nikki Bella
So are you so excited for this evolution?
Alexa Bliss
Yeah, I'm excited because that was one of the things I was, like, super excited about. I was like, oh, my gosh. All women's Pay Per View evolution. That's so cool. And when I got injured, I was so bummed because I was like, it's such a monumental thing for women, you know, from start to finish and all the women, you know, coming back and all the NXT girls coming up, but it was just such a cool, like, collaborative thing that I was so bummed to not be able to be a part of. So I'm excited, knock on wood, to be on it this time. I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing for Evolution, but, you know, hopefully I'm a part of it. And I think it'll be amazing because it's something that, you know, it's long overdue to happen again.
Brie Bella
Totally. And how do you feel? Like, like, I would love to know, like, what Evolution means to you. But also on top of that, you, I feel like, have had such an incredible evolution yourself. Like, you, your character, your career. What is. What does all that mean to you?
Alexa Bliss
Yeah, so I've been signed to WWE for 13 on the main roster. Almost 10, because I debuted 2016. Yeah. So almost 10 years. Nine years. Crazy. Oh, my gosh, it does. It flies so quick.
Nikki Bella
Well, and I remember when you were down at NXT doing, like, the cheerleading gimmick, like, I feel like that just felt.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, my God.
Nikki Bella
I remember, like, all of us just being there the other day, like, and all that happening. I mean, it's just. Wow. It's wild.
Alexa Bliss
It's so crazy. And that was, like, one of the things. Like, I've looked back and I was like, oh, my gosh. I've been so many different versions of this character, but each one, I think served purpose for that time period. And, you know, I think it. It, for me, it was always, always evolving because, you know, you guys know it's hard as a woman in the company to, you know, evolve your character and to Keep getting booked and fighting for those spots for matches. And I think for me, it's. I'm like, if I can just keep creating myself, recreating myself, then there's more opportunity to have storylines with more people on the roster, especially now with so many girls coming up, and we have literally every type of woman on the roster now, which is awesome. And, yeah, I think for me, it was just more. Keep evolving, keep changing, and it just opens up more opportunity.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, and you definitely have done that. And, you know, I have to say, you know, it was so fun. Like, when I was watching the Royal Rumble, which it, you know, side note, my son, Buddy, he watches it every other day, and only the women's part. Like, he knows everything. You all did. Everyone's number. Oh, my God.
Brie Bella
Music, character. It's crazy.
Nikki Bella
Buddy loves. He loves wrestling, but women's wrestling, I mean, that's his thing. But, you know, it was so much fun to watch the Royal Rumble. But were you. How. What's your feeling of your reaction when you came out? Because it was. I mean, I was.
Brie Bella
It was insane.
Nikki Bella
It was insane. And, like, I think everyone was so surprised that, you know, you were there, but.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, my gosh, I was surprised I was there. Yeah, I was. I was. I was really surprised with the reaction. I remember standing. I was in Gorilla, and I'm just, like, really nervous. I've got the doll. Jason had just made this jacket, and Mandy had made the skirt within, like, a day. And I'm just, like. I had old gear on. I was just, like, so nervous and just being like. Because it's your first match back one in two years, and then after having a kid, I like, you know, things don't quite, you know, sit where they used to. You know, they're not where I left them. Like, my hips and, like, you know how my back carries things. Like, it's just. Just not, you know, where it was before. And so I was so nervous. And then I was like, what if I don't get a reaction? Like, that was my main thing. I was like, what if I. What if I don't get a reaction? And I remember looking over and Stephanie McMahon's sitting there, and she's like, you're gonna be great. They're going to love it. And I was like, okay. And I go out and the reaction, I was so. I was so. Just taken aback. And, you know, in the moment of it, I think that was one of the first times I've really just been in the moment on an entrance. Besides my first WrestleMania because, you know, a lot of times when I'm doing my entrance, I'm still thinking about what's coming next. I'm not really able to because I get so nervous and I'm not able to enjoy the moment. And that was one of those ones where I just kind of actually took in the moment and I was like, wow, this is, this is pretty cool. And it was, it was really, it was really fun.
Nikki Bella
Wow, I love that. I love it. So. So it was short notice that you were there. Like, when did you get the call? Yeah, when did you get the call to?
Alexa Bliss
I got the call at like midnight the night before.
Nikki Bella
Wait, midnight?
Alexa Bliss
Yeah, midnight.
Nikki Bella
Oh my gosh.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah. So I got the call at midnight the night before and it wasn't fully decided until like 4am and I get a call at 5. They're like, all right, we need you on a plane by 10am I flew to because it wasn't in Indianapolis so no one would see me. Flew to Cincinnati, got drone. It drove in, had a cover up, got snuck into a back room. There was hair and makeup. I didn't get there till 4. You guys know how this stuff works. I didn't get there till four. We were first match starting at six. So I got there at four. I have someone in there that's like ready to do my hair. I haven't slept because this was an all night process of figuring out. And I hadn't slept, I hadn't eaten. I was deliriously tired. I'm in my, my house at 3am with a phone. Like, so I'm not, I'm trying not to wake up the baby because my gear is in like next to her closet. And I'm like looking through old gear, being like, all, well, it could still fit me. And I told Ryan. I was like. So I. At 4:00am, I go, Hey, I think I'm going to rumble. And he was like, huh? And I go, do you want to come? And he's like, he's like, I'm so tired. What? And I go, nevermind. And I just like get on a plane, go. And you know, just kind of no one knew I was there. Not even, you know, the girls didn't know I was there until I was in Guerrilla. No one, no one knew. No one knew I was there.
Brie Bella
I mean, it was crazy.
Nikki Bella
Talk about being superwoman that you can do that, by the way. I mean, good for you. That's incredible.

Alexa Bliss
No. I owe all that to Bailey and Natty because they were. They were so great about coming in, sneaking in and be like, all right, what are we doing? I'm like, okay, great. And just. It was super. It was super awesome. And my mom went with me to help me with everything because I was having that flight anxiety, you know, the. It was my first time flying without the baby, so I was like, oh, my God. But, yeah, but now she comes with.
Brie Bella
Me, so I love. How. How's that been? So does she come with you every week?
Alexa Bliss
She comes with me 90% of the time. Yeah. So if. Unless there's something like. She didn't come with me because of Fanatics Fest last weekend. So it was. It would just been too much, like, you saw how crazy Fanatics Fest was. It would have been too much to have her there. So she comes with me about 90% of the time. She loves it. She loves it. She runs around catering. She gets her french fries. She loves running around the stadium during rehearsals, during the show, she watches intently. Unless she's sleeping. Sometimes she'll just pass out. But she loves it. She loves it. It's so great. That's.
Brie Bella
You know, Tay, he started traveling with me at a really young age, and he always loved it. He's actually gets really upset now that when I leave without him because he wants to travel and he. Yeah, it's. It's hard, but it's. I think they're just born with our blood because that's. That's, like, what we've all done. And so they just. Yeah, kids are more home bodies. But.
Nikki Bella
Well, Birdie traveled with me a lot until the pandemic.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
And then.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
You know, and then I had Buddy, and then with two kids, forget about it. But then they start school, and that becomes more important to them than wanting to be where I'm at.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah, they want. They want to go with their friends. They want to go, you know, school and have all the fun. Yeah, I get that.
Brie Bella
Totally. Well, I love what you and Charlotte have been doing on smackdown, but we're just saying, like, your guys's chemistry, it's just so good on the TV screens.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, thank you. Yeah, I. I like. I like working with Charlotte. We've always had just this fun dynamic with each other. We always work really well together, and we've always had this, like, weird bond from NXT that we just always kind of gravitate towards each other when it comes to working with each other, and it's just so fun. And, you know, one of my favorite matches is with Charlotte. It was Survivor Series. I was the champ for, I think Smack Raw. She was the champ for smackdown. And that's still, to this day, one of my favorite favorite matches that I've ever had because it was just so fun.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, you guys do really great together. And, you know, I have to ask you, Lexi, with your character, is there any, like, when you. Because, I mean, you're. You do so well, is there anything that you have done on, like, on the side or at home that you really put a lot of thought into? Or are you constantly, like, thinking, okay, I need to bring this in, or I kind of want to do a little bit of this, because I feel like you have so many layers and depth to your character. I mean, it's incredible.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, thank you. Constant research. Constant research. I do acting classes every week with my acting coach, Nacho, and he's incredible. He works with a little. Lot of people in wwe, and a lot of the time it's just character development. It's doing research on things, and what else can I bring into my character? And I learned a lot of that from Wyndham because he. When I worked with Windham, he immediately, when I was joining his inner world of the Wyatt's, he was like, all right, you need to watch this documentary, watch this documentary, watch this movie, watch this, research this. And because he had put so much into his character, it made me feel like, okay, I'm going into your world, and I can't. I'm not going to be the one to mess it up. So I need to do research on my character and build all these layers to my character. And that was something I really learned a lot from him. Because when I was doing the goddess Persona, that was very much just like people I went to high school with. Like, I was just like, I'm just gonna copy, like, how they acted. And. And so then when I started started working with Windham, it was like, oh, so there needs to be research that goes into this. And, you know, it went to a lot of, you know, for the Dark Alexa character, the Playground Alexa, that was a character that was based on, you know, a traumatic event when I got attacked by the Fiend. And for me, it was like, okay, so what happens a lot of times when people go through a traumatic instances, they kind of revert back into a childlike mind state. So, like, when I was going through my eating disorders in high school, my brain, naturally, to protect myself, went back to, like, a child's mindset. So everything was all Disney and Tinkerbell and all these things. And so that was kind of what I took from that into the Playground Alexa character with Lily and with the pigtails and with the overalls and, you know, wearing the things. And it was like kind of like the movie the Orphan with big comfy couch. And how do you make that as real as possible? And it's reverting back to that to protect yourself from something that happened and from being attacked by the Fiend. Turning into Playground Alexa was the coping mechanism with that, and Dark Alexa was the coping mechan of the Fiend being burned from Randy and kind of moving past that. And so everything that I've done ever since working with Wyndham has always had a purpose and a place, which makes it more fun and more, you know, intriguing in my eyes at least. But, yeah, so it's a lot of research, a lot of movies, a lot of working with Nacho.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, I love that. And I love that it does feel like we all still get that spirit of, like, Bray Wyatt. And so I love that. Like, it's just there's, you know, because losing him was so hard and it was so sad. But I love how you still bring his spirit to the stage. You can feel it. And it's so great.
Alexa Bliss
Thank you. Thank you. That's one of the things I try to always keep a part of it with me. And I actually have a piece of his gear on my skirt. My skirt has a patch of his gear. And then we all have. I'll grab it. One second. We all have these bracelets with his gear on it. And so this is the gear that's also on My skirt. And, you know, it's. It's. How do we. How do we, you know, respect Windham's vision and keep his, you know, memory alive without, you know, making it a tribute? Making it more of like, this is Alexa now, and this is part of her past that's always going to be with her.
Nikki Bella
But, yeah, I love it.
Brie Bella
That gives me chills.
Alexa Bliss
But it's one of my little prized possessions.
Nikki Bella
Are we gonna see Alexa, the character ever be like, a mom? Are you gonna bring any of, like, motherhood? Because that's, you know, you're, you know, being a mom. Are you gonna bring that at all?
Alexa Bliss
My thing now?
Nikki Bella
I mean, I guess you are kind.
Alexa Bliss
Of Lily kind of, right? So Lily. Yeah, Lily's kind of like my. So I was walking around Fanatic Fest with Lily just not to. To sidetrack, but I forgot that, you know, when you're not a wrestling fan, it looks weird when I'm walking around with a doll.
Nikki Bella
I love it.
Alexa Bliss
I had quite a few people come up. Yeah, quite a few people come up. No. What's with the doll? Is this like your. And I was like, oh, you don't watch wrestling? No, this is like.
Brie Bella
That is so funny. I didn't even think of that because we're just so used to our world. And I have to say, at Fanatics Fest, I mean, our world was the greatest part of Fanatics Fest. WWE fans and then our ramp and the entrances, like, everyone wanted to be over there. It was the loudest. It was so fun.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, we 100 took over fanatics Fest. It was. It was so cool.
Brie Bella
Did you do an entrance at all?
Alexa Bliss
I did an entrance. I. Not for me, but I did an entrance. So there was a. A gentleman that was in my autograph session and my photo session, and after his photo, and he was like, hey, it's my birthday. He was dressed head to tone as the fiend. And he goes, it's my birthday. It would mean so much if he goes, I know you're busy, but if you end up getting done with your photos early, would you want to come and do an entrance with me? Like, it would make my birthday. And, you know, I think it would be so fun because he was dressed as the fiend and his daughter was dressed up as Alexa. And so I was like, oh. I was like. I was like, if I can make that work, I 100% will make that work. And luckily, I finished early, so I did an entrance with him. He came out to the Firefly Fun House song. That cuts into the Fiend song, and we both did the Fiend entrance together. And so that's the interest that I did. But I saw Nikki, I saw your entrance, and that was. That was awesome.
Brie Bella
Oh, thank you. Well, yours, I think. I saw that one. That was so sweet and cute, and I loved how you stayed in character. Yeah, that one. I was like, of course, I was the first one to go in the games as far as, like, a WWE Superstar that came through. And I go, have people been doing it to their own music? And they go, well, you're the first. And I go, okay, so what do I do? And they go, do it to yours. And I'm like, sure. And then I was like, well, all.
Nikki Bella
Right, here we go.
Brie Bella
Let's make it real good.
Nikki Bella
I was like, wow, Nikki did Nikki Bella's entrance really good.
Brie Bella
Yeah. Tens and.
Nikki Bella
No.
Brie Bella
And then I was feeling myself for sure, so.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, you're crushing it. And, like. And I know everyone probably loved it. And, like, the fans seeing everyone do their entrances. There's actually one clip of the. Of the one I did with the. The guy dressed as the Fiend. And you can hear someone say, hey, is that really her? Because it was just. Because it was all the fans doing their entrances and stuff.
Brie Bella
Yeah, people. Someone goes, whoa, that girl did Nikki Bella's really well. Because that first. They didn't know it was me either. Like, they. Because that's. It was just fans that were in line waiting to do. But then a part of the games was you had to do an entrance, and we. There was three jud. And you're getting scored. So that went on the scoreboard.
Nikki Bella
Okay.
Brie Bella
And then, of course, I was the one to kick it off for the WWE Superstars. So even though, like, Triple H had gone earlier, but to, like, do something, but I was like, okay. I know.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, that would have been.
Alexa Bliss
Really pressure was on.
Brie Bella
Yeah. Well, I was ready to actually with the water. And they're like, we think you should do your yours. And I'm like, okay, that's hilarious.
Alexa Bliss
They were probably like, wow, she really looks like Nikki and does her entrance so well.
Brie Bella
Honestly, you're like, bella triplet has that booty shake that's so good.
Nikki Bella
Like, wait, is that Bri?
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
So you're obviously a badass in the ring, but the one thing I feel like you're a badass at is motherhood. And so Nikki and I have to ask, how has it been being a mom?
Alexa Bliss
Oh, it's the best. Thank you. But it is the best. It is the best. I. I wasn't that person that. I think Nikki and I talked about this a long time ago once in the locker room. I wasn't, like, one that was like, oh, my God, I want kids. It was. Hendrix was very much a surprise. And I was so worried. I was like, what if, like, my motherly instincts don't kick in? What if. Because I was always just like, I'm so selfish with my time. I'm so career driven. What if, like, I'm not good at this, Right? And so as soon as. As soon as I had Hendrix, besides, like, the postpartum anxiety, it just, like, clicks in, and it's crazy. And it's the best thing. It's the best. I love it. I love it so much. I was like, why didn't I do this sooner? I. And this is so just. I love that I can go to smackdown, and I love that I can portray a character, but I love even more that I can come home and just be a mom and just watch. My daughter has an opinion now. She, you know, watch her grow, watch her learn. Watch her, you know, just. Just thrive. She wakes up every morning like it's Christmas. She's so happy. She hard. Well, I know it didn't sound like earlier, but she actually hardly ever cried. That's why I was like, what is going on up there? She hardly cries. She's so happy. She's just always just dancing and, you know, just learning every day. And it's the best. And. And, I mean, you guys know, watching your kids just grow up, it's just the best thing ever. But it goes so fast.
Nikki Bella
So fast.
Alexa Bliss
Why does it. Why does it go so? I saw a picture the other day that you posted with Birdie on Nickelodeon. Brie.
Nikki Bella
Crazy.
Alexa Bliss
I was like, where did the time go?
Brie Bella
Right?
Alexa Bliss
I remember when she was born and you brought her to tv and just this little thing with these big old blue eyes. And now she's, like, a whole person.
Nikki Bella
Yeah. With big opinions, too.
Alexa Bliss
She is stunning, by the way. And.
Nikki Bella
Oh, thanks.
Alexa Bliss
Big opinion. Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Oh, yeah. Big opinions. But it is, you know, Lexi, it's wild because I don't. Maybe because we love, like, being parents. But isn't it crazy how kids make time go fast?
Brie Bella
They make time go so fast. I'm like, like, can this slow down? It's so true what they say. When they say, the days are long, but the years are fast.
Nikki Bella
No, years are short. Days are long. Years are short. That's the saying. Oh, not fast. No, because, you know, short and long.
Brie Bella
Yeah, but, like, whatever.
Nikki Bella
But why?
Brie Bella
But why would a year be shorter than what a year is?
Nikki Bella
Because days feel long and years feel short.
Brie Bella
Whatever. I like fast.
Nikki Bella
But. But that's not correct.

Alexa Bliss
Crazy.
Brie Bella
Crazy. I still am like, how is this? Like, oh, my gosh. And you just want to soak in every second and. And I'm so like you because I am a total different person when I am not a mom. And then I come home and I'm like, straight mom mode. To where I could tell people at school are like, is that the same girl on Instagram? Because it's just, you know, school drop off is not what people think. You're sweatpants, hairs up. Like you're just trying to get out the door on time.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah. You're just trying to. You're just trying to survive. I remember. I mean, my hair don't even. I don't even know when I wash it. Because, you know, when you're in mom mode, you're just like, all right, everything for your child. Like, that's. As long as she's put together and she's good and she's fed and happy, that's all that matters. I'll walk around looking disheveled and smell like doo doo. I don't care. Because it's. You just, you know, you put them first for everything. And that's why I was like, I would love to see, like, you know, because that was. That was one of the things that I didn't realize, especially after having a child, it made me realize I was like, man, I really should have checked in on my mom friends more. Because you don't realize how much it changes, like, who you are and your identity and, you know, it's. I mean, obviously it's for the better, but, like, it's. It's still such a hard transition. And just pregnancy itself is so tough. I like poor Ryan. I was. I did not have a good pregnancy. And he needed to know every day of how not good it was.
Nikki Bella
That's okay.
Brie Bella
That's so.
Nikki Bella
But you birthed him a miracle.
Brie Bella
Exactly. And I do love what you said, though, about. Because I'm like, yeah, because I was later than all my friends and Brie and. I know. I mean, that's such a good point. On, like, it makes you realize, like, I never checked in on them as much because I didn't understand the whole mom process till you go through it, and you're like, whoa, yeah, this changes everything.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah. You don't understand it. You don't get it. Like, people are like, oh, it's so. It's. It's. You know, once you become mom, it's so different. It's so hard, you know, you can't just go out and do things. And you're like, just get a sitter. And I'm like, no, you just can't go out and do things. And like, I. You know, as much as I would love to just get a sitter, like, I'm that person. I'm like, well, why would I get a sitter when I can just watch my kid? Like, I'm like, I can just hang out with her. Yeah. Yeah. Like, and. And then you get so protective, and I just, like. I just, like, I'm like, I don't trust everybody. I don't trust anybody. Like, you know what I mean? I'm like, so, like, our parents watch her, you know, and. But. And then we have one babysitter that will watch her in la. But that was a whole process of, you know, meeting her a few times and having her interact with Hendrix a little bit. And then our first trip was literally down the street and then back and just, you know, it was. I'm that crazy mother that I'm like, yes.
Brie Bella
I have now three girls that I trust, but there's. And breeze the same. I'm just so protective. And it takes a lot to trust someone with your child, for sure. And it's like, I. I'll say no to things just because I'm like, no. If there's not the right person watching him, I'm just not gonna do it. Like, it just. It's. He's staying with me. He's right here.
Nikki Bella
That's why it's nice when you become friends with your neighbors, because then, you know, everyone's just at the house hanging out, and everyone gets to enjoy. Right. But Lexi, so, you know, was there anything. Have you noticed anything being back that's been hard, like, different, because now that.
Alexa Bliss
You'Re a mom, the travel's a lot harder because she goes with me now. So that part's a lot harder for me especially. I have to have her with me because when she's not with me, I've realized that I'm constantly just, like, checking in, being like, all right, how's she doing? What's going on? Send me pictures. Send me videos. And then if I don't get those pictures or videos, I'm like, I can't focus on work. Work. I'm like, is she okay? What are you guys doing? How's. How is everything going? But when she's with me, I'm like, okay, this is great. I have, you know, my friend Joey that travels with me, and he watches her because Ryan's on the road every weekend, so she comes with me and Joey's with her, and they're just living their best life. And then. But the travel is a lot harder because you have to. It's because, you know, before it was just as long as we have our gear and our id, that's all you really need. You know, gear and ID and you're good to go. But now it's, oh, my God, it's gear, id, travel, bassinet, diaper bag, enough stuff to last her, you know, a few days and that. And, yeah, it's just so much. It's more of like a. The travel's harder how. Getting used to my body in the ring was hard, too, because, you know, you. It was like when I first went to the performance center and started training. I was doing roles, and I just remember thinking, like, so my brain is telling my body to do something, but my body's not doing it the way it normally does. And then when I did it, it didn't feel right because it didn't feel like my body doing it. It was like a weird, like, brain body disconnect. And then you're, like, building your core back together. And that was probably. That was really hard. Relearning my body was really hard because it was something that, you know, I've been. I've done front rolls and stuff since I was 4 years old. I was a gymnast my whole life. So, like, something that was so second nature was so weird and didn't feel like me. I was like, oh, this is weird. And I had to relearn my body, relearn, you know, what fits me, what doesn't. What, you know, what looks good, what doesn't. And I think that was something that was a little different coming back, being like, oh, now I actually have to worry about, like. Like, you know, what fits the right way when, you know, before it was just, oh, as long as it's stretchy, it's Fine, you know, like, it's spandex. It'll fit, you know? But now it's like, no, it needs to be a certain cut, certain style, you know, certain everything. And then, like, certain. Certain bumps. Like, I. I do a lot of drop kicks. But, like, at first, that was. That was rough, you know, the drop kicks was rough first because you. Your bladder and.
Nikki Bella
Oh, yeah.
Alexa Bliss
Trying not to pee. Yeah.
Brie Bella
It is so true, though, like, how different it feels like. It's funny that you say the front rules, because when I went to the PC and trained, that was my first thing where the front rolls felt so foreign. And I'm like, gosh, I'm feeling like I'm getting vertigo. Like. And it's just weird, it. The getting up, because. Yeah, I feel like. And I don't know if you feel like this, but I feel like there's just, like, an empty space in my core, like, where he grew. I'm like. It just feels like an empty space. And I'm like. I don't know if the abs are torn there. The pelvic floor is all messed up. I don't know what it is, but it's just weird.
Alexa Bliss
It's all different. Yeah. It's all. If it's like, such a. It's such a. Like. Like, especially, like, right here is where, like, for me, it's like, oh, like, yeah, there's, like, no muscle there now. And it's. It's just weird. And now it's like, like, oh, if I have a certain meal now, it shows up there the next day instead of, like, being able to just work it off. And now it's like, nope, that's gonna stay there.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Oh, yeah.
Alexa Bliss
Like, that's.
Brie Bella
My kids.
Nikki Bella
Last night scared me to do a cartwheel. They're like, you can't do a cartwheel.
Brie Bella
And I'm like, I can do a cartwheel.
Nikki Bella
So I did it right before. Like, I'm in the middle of cooking dinner, like, right before we eat.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
And Brian's on FaceTime. He's like, I have to see this. I'm like, I can do a cartwheel. I nailed it.
Alexa Bliss
It. Yeah.
Nikki Bella
But I think I pulled the muscle from my calf all the way to my shoulder.
Brie Bella
Girl, you gotta stretch when you do those things.
Nikki Bella
I literally, like, I did the cartwheel in the middle of me doing the cartwheel. You can hear me go, oh. Because I was like. I felt the longest muscle of my life be like. Like, I don't know. I'm like, I just pulled something. I, like, literally I landed it because I'm competitive. Did the damn thing. Yes, landed it. And then like, you see me like limp away. Brian's like, like, are you hurt? I'm like, geez.
Brie Bella
I'm like, yeah, you're not gonna claim it.
Alexa Bliss
You're like, I did it. I nailed it. But I'm gonna look away after I did it.
Nikki Bella
I mean, you gotta see my kids faces too. They were like, whoa, your legs were straight. I'm like, damn right they were straight.
Brie Bella
Oh my God. They were like blown.
Nikki Bella
And then Brian was like, well, I can do one. I'm like, I've seen you do a cartwheel. I'm like, your knees are kind of bent and like, you know what I mean when the people do the cartwheel with the knees.
Brie Bella
But he's like, no way.
Nikki Bella
I'm like, like, listen. So he and I literally made a bet when I see him.
Brie Bella
Well, now he's going to be stretching and practicing.
Nikki Bella
Sunday, he and I are going to do a competition in the backyard to see how many cartwheels we're gonna go at the same time. We can keep going. But I go, but Brian, we can't hurt ourselves. But like, we get so competitive.
Brie Bella
I've really been loving the trend on Instagram reels where all of a sudden couples have realized that they've never seen each other do a sprint. So they film each other sprinting. It's so good to hear their reactions with each other. Like, I love it. I like that trend. I also really like the trend where they have their whenever it's a boyfriend, husband, whatever, call like their friends or their father in law to say goodnight. Have you seen that trend?
Alexa Bliss
Say good night.
Brie Bella
Yeah. Wait, what is it?
Alexa Bliss
I want Ryan to do that so bad to his friends.
Brie Bella
You need to do it so bad. They have him calling, like, so they answer and it's nighttime and they go, he's like, oh, hey, what up, man? He goes, hey, you know, just getting in bed, just want to say goodnight. And you'll hear like long pauses or someone, why are you doing that?
Nikki Bella
Like, what are you okay?
Brie Bella
Some will then get it worried, like commit suicide. Or the others are being like, why are you being weird? Like, don't do that. And oh my God, it's just so fun. One dad was like, you're wasted. Are you wasted right now? He called the wife's den and he goes, no, no. I just really wanted to say, you know, good night, sweet dreams. He goes, that's enough. Like, I'm watching. Like, it's so good.
Alexa Bliss
Did you see the one with Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi?
Brie Bella
No, I haven't seen that one.
Alexa Bliss
So Ed called him. Ed Sheeran called Lewis Capaldi. He goes, hey, man. And he goes, hey, sweetie. And he goes, I just want to tell you good night. And he goes, oh, thank you, love. Good night. I hope you have a good night. And he goes, is everything okay? And Ed goes, yeah, man. I just, just, just want to tell you good night that you're loved. And he goes, oh, thank you, my sexy sweetie pie. And they're just like going. They're just like both feeding into it. And it was just like the funniest thing.
Nikki Bella
That is amazing.
Brie Bella
That one. That is so sweet.
Nikki Bella
I love.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Oh, my. I need Brian to do that to maybe J.J. or someone. Yeah, that would be good. And Brian would love to do it.
Brie Bella
He would love to do it.
Nikki Bella
Okay, I need to do that.
Brie Bella
Okay.
Nikki Bella
Well, Alexa, before we let you go, I thought we could play a game.
Brie Bella
Let's do it.
Nikki Bella
Bliss or Miss? Okay, so this game of Bliss or Miss, we're gonna give you some scenarios and you're gonna tell us if this brings you bliss or if it's a miss. Okay? Okay, let's get started. So number one, singing the national anthem at a major sports event for me.
Alexa Bliss
To do that, because, I mean, we.
Brie Bella
Saw you on the Mass Singer Girls, so we know you can sing. Oh, that would.
Alexa Bliss
That's a Miss you so that. Like who. So if you. If you mess up that national anthem, the world does not forgive you. So I'm gonna go ahead and miss that. I will cheer on anyone else who has the. The balls to do it.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, I know. That is a nerve wracking one.
Brie Bella
Yeah, shoot.
Nikki Bella
Because I'd mess up some words. Hey, everyone, if you've been listening to the show the past few weeks, you've all heard us talking about that the Airbnb Original Experience we hosted at our speakeasy tasting room. Bonita. Bonita. And let me tell you, we had so much fun.
Brie Bella
Oh, my goodness. So much fun. So, okay, we all were at, as Brie said, the Bonita Bonita tasting room speakeasy. And it was so fun because everyone who was a part of the Airbnb Original Experience group started in a private tasting room with Brie and I. Well, of course we greeted everyone with some champagne, but it was really fun because we all sat into the tasting together and we just chatted. We tasted Bonita. Bonita. And then, of course, our next special treat that made it so original and such a fun experience was Brie and I recorded an episode of the Nikki and Bri show live for all of them, which if you haven't seen on YouTube, you can see it on YouTube. So literally, Brie and I are just doing a normal episode, but we have them set up beautifully right in front of us. And I, of course, we kept the bonita, bonita pouring. And you know what I really love about it is if you go listen or watch that episode, you get to hear all the laughs and you just realize, like, how interactive it is. And it was just so much fun. I. It felt like a live show for one.
Nikki Bella
I agree.
Brie Bella

Nikki Bella
Yeah, it's not our era of consistency, social media. Yeah, I'm not consistent. I'm like, you know, yeah, it's hard. It's like the last thing I want to think about.
Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss
Sure. Bliss. I don't even know. Like, I. I still run into my exes, so, like. But, like, it's, like, not like, a thing. Yeah. Like, so I don't think, like. I mean, it's not, like, really, I guess, a miss then, because I. I don't know. It's.
Nikki Bella
Yeah. And I feel like, too. It's better when it's, like, been. You kind of just got out of a relationship with them. But, like, for me, it's been.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Over a decade. I mean, almost two. And, like, you're almost like.
Brie Bella
Yeah, you don't care anymore.
Alexa Bliss
Like, whatever. Yeah. Yeah, I don't have any. Yeah. I don't have any exes that I would be like, oh, you need to see me looking hot. Yeah. Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Like, now, if I did bump into an ex, I hope I do look good compared to, like, some days how.
Brie Bella
I could look like a hot mess.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So in mom mode.
Nikki Bella
Yeah.
Alexa Bliss
No, thank you. Yeah. And, like.
Brie Bella
We don't even, like, look refreshed at that point. We just have crazy, tired eyes.
Alexa Bliss
Yes.
Nikki Bella
Yeah. And so. And two, I feel like we're lucky because I can be like, oh, it's not Brie, it's Nikki. Yeah. Oh, awesome. Matching tattoos with your best friend.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, I have a matching tattoo with so, Bliss, because I have a matching tattoo with my friend Kaylin. We have little Roman numerals on our shoulders. And then I have matching tattoos with Ryan, so he's my best friend, so. Yeah, I'd say Bliss.
Brie Bella
Yeah. Yeah.
Nikki Bella
I'm trying to get her to do a matching tattoo with me. What would you even want?
Alexa Bliss
You should.
Nikki Bella
I think we can think about it.
Brie Bella
Yeah.
Nikki Bella
We could talk to the drawing board.
Brie Bella
I'd be open to it, depending where. Does it have to be in the same spot or is it just the same kind of tattoo?
Nikki Bella
I mean, I. I feel like you get the same tattoo or something. Like, I've seen people do cute stuff too, if you bring, like, certain things together. I love when I see.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, yeah.
Nikki Bella
Yeah, I like that.
Brie Bella
Yeah. That's cute, right? It's real cute. Yeah.
Nikki Bella
Okay. And then last one. Bliss. Or miss being handcuffed to your husband for 24 hours.
Alexa Bliss
Oh, bliss. Because he just entertains me to no end. There's so many people in the world that I would be like, absolutely not. Do not handcuff me them to them for 24 hours. But Ryan, I would handle that because he's just. He just keeps me laughing all day, every day. And I'll. I'll take it.
Nikki Bella
Oh, I love that.
Brie Bella
I love your guys's love.
Nikki Bella
It's so cute. It really is.
Alexa Bliss
Thank you.
Nikki Bella
Well, Alexa, thank you so much for coming on the show. We always end our episodes with little insights, inspiration, and affirmation. Is there a quote or a motto that you live by?
Alexa Bliss
Quote or motto that I live by? I used to, like, when it came to work, I used to just always live by. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. But I guess that can, like, apply to other things in life, you know, everything is just day by day.
Brie Bella
I love that. But, yeah, I love that it's true. It's. There really is no such thing as overnight success. And so it's easier.
Alexa Bliss
Right?
Brie Bella
Like, you know, I think we all hear too, you know, when you have people look up to you and they want to be where you're at within even a few years, and they don't realize that we've been building this for over a decade. All of us. Us too.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah.
Brie Bella
And it's true. It's. It's a marathon, it's not a sprint. And that's. That's, you know, not only deals with the overnight success part of it, but like the growth part of it. Within yourself, too.
Nikki Bella
Sure.
Alexa Bliss
Yeah.
Brie Bella
So, I mean, I like that.
Nikki Bella
Yeah. When you think about it, you know, like, I look at just because I'm a gardener, Right. So I look at when I plant and how slowly it takes things to blossom, but when they do, I mean, it can feed a whole family. Like, you think of, like, nature. They constantly show us that with patience and the total tlc, you know, it's amazing then what blossoms. And I. I do, I believe, like, sprint. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Goes for everything in life. So I love that.
Brie Bella
I love that. Oh, well, thank you, Lexi, for coming on the show and thanks for having me. It was so fun. And everyone, remember to get your WWE Evolution tickets.

So I. Okay, so I have a TikTok, and that's Alexa Bliss. The same kind of thing as the other ones, but I mostly use it as, like, Google. So if I need to, like, look something up, I just look it up on Tick Tock. Like, I don't do, like, I have like a handful of TikToks on my page with a couple, like, just ridiculous videos. But it's not something that I actively do because again, I'm not consistent on socials. But I use it like it's the new Google. Anytime I need to look something up, whether it's. Even if I'm at Sephora and I'm like, I don't know if this is going to look good on me. I'll look it up on TikTok, that item and see what it looks like on other people. Because it's live video, right? So you're like, oh, this is how that looks. So I'm very much a. I'm very much like, I look up reviews of everything on Tick Tock. It's like my new Yelp and Google. Everything that I want to learn to do or review, I just look up on TikTok. And that's my extent of TikTok.
