Alexa Bliss Opens Up About Concussions Almost Ending Her In-Ring Career

Alexa Bliss recently suffered a number of concerning concussions. These would force her out of active competition until WWE medically cleared her return.

In an interview with NYPost.com, Bliss opened up over her concern that her wrestling career may have been over after suffering a second concussion.

“I think after the second concussion I was very worried about not being able to get back in the ring, especially because I didn’t know what was going on with my brain,” Bliss said. “There’s so many different types of concussions and I didn’t know that at the time. Each one had to be treated differently and the fact that I didn’t know what was going on with my brain and didn’t know until I saw the concussion specialist, it made me very scared.”

She explained that, “The stuff that he [Dr. Collins] taught me about concussions and injury has been so mind opening and mind blowing, actually. It made me feel like for the first time that I actually was in control of my own injury and actually well aware of what was going on in my brain and it made me feel so much better about returning to the ring because concussions are a scary thing.”

Thankfully, Bliss has since made her in-ring return. She is scheduled to compete this Sunday at WWE’s Stomping Grounds PPV. She will face Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

Alexa is by far one of the most entertaining females on the WWE roster. I really hope they put the tag team titles on her so she can be a Triple Crown Champion. Preferably together with Mickie James, so she also becomes a Triple Crown Champion.
