Stephanie McMahon had a chat with a top WWE Superstar mere minutes before her in-ring return. Alexa Bliss recently revealed what happened backstage at Royal Rumble 2025 before she entered the ring.
Bliss took a hiatus after Royal Rumble 2023 due to her pregnancy. She finally returned to WWE at Royal Rumble 2025 and received a LOUD reaction from the fans in attendance.
On the latest edition of The Nikki & Brie Show, Alexa Bliss said she was nervous before hitting the ring and had a quick talk with Stephanie McMahon before entering the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
Here’s what Bliss said:
“I was so nervous because it’s my first match back in two years and after having a kid, things don’t quite sit where they used to. My hips and how my back carries things, it’s just not where it was before. I was so nervous and I was like, ‘What if I don’t get a reaction?’ That was my main thing. I remember looking over and Stephanie McMahon is sitting there and she’s like, ‘You’re going to be great. They’re going to love it.’ I was like, ‘Okay.’ I go out and the reaction, I was so taken aback and in the moment of it. It was one of the first times I’ve really been in the moment on an entrance besides my first WrestleMania.” [H/T Fightful]
