Alexa Bliss reveals her own WWE Netflix surprise with major Sakamoto Days role

Previously crowned WWE Women’s Champion, Alexa Bliss made a personal announcement about an exciting Netflix project – she is set to appear in the popular anime show titled “Sakamoto Days“.

Alexis Cabrera, more famously recognized by her WWE persona Alexa Bliss, was once the WWE Women’s Champion. However, since the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View event in 2023, she has neither competed nor been seen in WWE, and unfortunately, she couldn’t secure the RAW Women’s Championship from Bianca Belair during that event.

After welcoming my little one into the world, I chose to step away for a while. Though many fans are excitedly waiting for me to re-enter the arena, I haven’t made a comeback just yet.

Despite whispers and guesses about when Bliss might reappear in the WWE, she announced a thrilling new job opportunity in voice acting.

Fans of a popular manga series have been excitedly waiting for the Netflix version’s debut. Initially, there were worries regarding the animation style and design, but now, those fears seem to be diminishing.

After receiving her confirmation, fans of Bliss rushed to the comment area to express their joy and backing for her role selection.

On the past Monday, the long-awaited WWE premiere graced Netflix screens, with its primary show, RAW, surpassing the anticipated second season of Squid Game and other contenders in its first episode.
