Alexa Bliss surprised WWE fans by teaming up with a male wrestler in a recent event during WWE’s European tour. On January 13, 2026, at the SAP Arena in Mannheim, Germany, Bliss paired with Dragon Lee for a mixed tag team match where they secured a victory over Kofi Kingston and Asuka. This marked the first occasion the former SmackDown Women’s Champion collaborated in the ring with Dragon Lee, a former World Tag Team Champion.
Background of Alexa Bliss’ Past Collaborations with Male Wrestlers
Throughout her career, Alexa Bliss has formed several notable partnerships with male wrestlers. Her experience dates back to 2015 during her NXT tenure, where she worked alongside Wesley Blake and Buddy Matthews, now known in AEW. After moving to WWE’s main roster, she initially focused on singles competition but later engaged in impactful tag teams.
In 2018, during the Mixed Match Challenge, Bliss teamed with Braun Strowman and advanced to the semi-finals, which boosted her involvement in a dramatic storyline involving Bray Wyatt. This rivalry eventually led to Bliss collaborating in a distinctive alliance with Wyatt as The Fiend. Despite its significance, Bliss never officially competed in a match with him.
Current WWE Alliances and Ongoing Relationships
Besides her new partnership with Dragon Lee, Alexa Bliss recently joined forces with Charlotte Flair on Friday Night SmackDown. Despite initial resistance and tension from Flair, the duo has performed well as a team and remains former Women’s Tag Team Champions. Bliss’ ability to adapt to different partners, including male allies, highlights her versatility as a competitor.
Implications for Alexa Bliss’ Career and WWE Storylines
The addition of Dragon Lee as Alexa Bliss’ new male partner could signal fresh momentum in her wrestling narrative, potentially opening opportunities for mixed tag team storylines. As WWE continues its Road to Royal Rumble tour across Europe, fans can expect further exploration of such partnerships that blend established rivalries and new alliances. Bliss’ evolving tag team roles may also influence upcoming matches and the dynamics of both the women’s and men’s divisions.
