WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss displayed the impact of an injury she suffered during this week’s SmackDown episode ahead of her crucial title match at SummerSlam 2025. The veteran wrestler, who is scheduled to compete at the high-profile event, revealed the injury on social media following her recent defeat.
On Friday night, Bliss faced The Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez and suffered a cut while performing her signature move, the Twisted Bliss, outside the ring. The 33-year-old wrestler showed a bandage on her nose in an Instagram Story photo posted with her daughter, highlighting the physical toll of the match.
Bliss and Charlotte Flair prepare for Women’s Tag Team Championship challenge
Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair will team up to challenge The Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez for the Women’s Tag Team Championships at WWE SummerSlam 2025. The original tag team partner, Liv Morgan, was forced out due to a shoulder injury sustained last month, leading to Perez stepping in as Morgan’s replacement.
Meanwhile, Dominik Mysterio, who received a Nintendo Switch 2 gift from Roxanne Perez during RAW, is set to defend the Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles at SummerSlam.
Vince Russo questions the logic behind Bliss and Flair’s partnership
Veteran wrestling commentator Vince Russo recently weighed in on the pairing of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair on SmackDown. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s BroDown show, Russo expressed confusion about the storyline behind their alliance, noting the absence of a clear reason for the team-up on WWE programming.
“This is their attempt to make Charlotte Flair babyface by giving her a rub with Alexa Bliss. However, there’s no story here. Bliss, there has been no explanation of why she’s saddling up Flair. Give me something man. She’s not trying to really befriend Charlotte. She’s just showing up wherever Charlotte is. Give me something, give me a reason first that so I can understand, wrap my head around it.” —Vince Russo, Wrestling Veteran
Anticipation builds for the outcome of SummerSlam 2025
The injury Alexa Bliss sustained raises concerns about her condition ahead of the critical Women’s Tag Team Championship match at SummerSlam 2025.
