Former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss has opened up on how she found out that she would be facing a WWE Hall of Famer at the Evolution show.

Over the weekend, the company made it official by announcing that Bliss would take on Trish Stratus at the first-ever all-women’s Evolution pay-per-view event. WWE has released this video of Bliss talking about the match, which was recorded prior to her losing the RAW Women’s Title to Ronda Rousey at Sunday’s (August 19, 2018) WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view event in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center on the WWE Network.

“I found out like everyone else did on Twitter", Bliss said. She continued by stating that it was pretty cool and really exciting as she was surprised by it because she loves Stratus as she watched her growing up.

She added that she’s really excited to have this chance as she wasn’t able to compete in the Women’s Royal Rumble match in January at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.


The Evolution pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, October 28, 2018 in Long Island, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and will air on the WWE Network.
