In a recent discussion on the Artist Friendly with Joel Madden podcast, musician Ryan Cabrera opened up about the unexpected challenges of being married to professional wrestler Alexa Bliss. Cabrera described how Bliss often returns home with cuts and bruises, which sometimes prompt concerned doctors to question her well-being during medical visits. These injury concerns highlight the physical toll of wrestling and the misunderstandings it can cause in everyday situations.
Such incidents have led to moments when medical professionals have pulled Bliss aside to check whether she might be a victim of domestic abuse, only for her to clarify that her injuries are the result of her wrestling career.
If we go to the pediatrician and I step out to the bathroom, they’ll ask her, ‘Are you okay? Is everything okay at home?’ And she has to explain, ‘No, everything’s fine. I’m a wrestler. This is what happens.’

Cabrera emphasized the unique nature of these occupational hazards, noting how the bruises and marks Bliss gets are often mistaken for something more serious. Alexa, accustomed to the physical demands of her profession, doesn’t always notice these injuries herself.
Their elbows get all beat up, and sometimes the bruises look really bad. Right now it almost looks like there’s a fingerprint on her arm. I always tell her she’s got to remind people she’s a wrestler,
he added.

Aleister Black Reflects on His WWE Comeback
In a detailed interview with Rob Pasbani of The Stunner, Aleister Black expressed satisfaction with his second stint in WWE, highlighting the volume of work and opportunities he has experienced. Black discussed numerous main events, merchandise success, and memorable matches, including a headlining bout where he defeated Randy Orton.
First and foremost, I consider it a massive success. A lot more work, a lot more things that I have done inside the ring and outside the ring. I like being busy. Once I feel like I am not busy I feel like I am not doing something right. The amount of work I have had within WWE has been a lot, which is good. Several main events, headlining several Smackdown episodes, merchandise sales, commercials, various interviews and then obviously as of recently, working the main event with Randy Orton and beating him. I cannot really complain when it comes to that,
he said.
Black also noted his continuous drive for self-improvement despite the successes achieved, underlining a commitment to evolve his character and performance.
Can we do better? We can always do better. Even if I would have been at the highest of highest of echelons I would still find things of myself that I would be like, ‘I can improve on this or I can improve on that.’ So, I consider it to be a very good year, very fruitful, very exciting and very diverse. A lot of changes, a lot of new things. I was happy that I was able to bring over something that I was working on at the end of my first run when we did the Dark Father. This whole corrupting people character that was going to start with the Dark Father and obviously had its life in AEW for a minute, bringing that over to WWE, I feel like it has a lot more legs. With Randy, it has not even seeded as much as it is going to which is a really cool prospect for me. I should be very happy and excited to be doing what I am doing. It feels very good,
Black continued.
