Bowling For Soup are eyeing up WrestleMania (Credit: Jodi Photography)

For Jaret Reddick, Bowling For Soup’s new single Alexa Bliss has brought his WWE fandom full circle and kept the rock ‘n’ wrestling connection alive.

The band released their latest track – named after the former women’s champion herself – earlier this month, with the hilarious accompanying video already racking up over 850,000 hits on YouTube in less than two weeks, and Jaret is excited about where the new tag team could take things from here.

On the possibility of a huge WrestleMania performance this year in Tampa, he told Metro.co.uk: ‘It would be incredible. I’ve been asked that a lot, and obviously if that offer comes up we’ll do whatever we can to make it happen.



‘[I’ve mostly spoken to] office people, but they have a representative who I deal with all the time, their PR as well, a social media guy who’s been great and actually came to the video shoot. It’s a good relationship and I think they see a lot of potential in it as well.’


Alexa – who takes a starring role in the video – recently told us she also has a little cameo on the track itself, and it seems both parties would be up for a duet one day.

‘I think that’d be a blast – and like the song says, I hear she can sing,’ he laughed. ‘That’s the great thing about where music is these days – you can just get an idea like that and just do it. I get in those conversations all the time with people.

‘Now, you can just be like: “Hey, what are you doing this weekend? Let’s do a song!” I think you’re gonna start seeing way more of that kind of thing, collaborations from out of nowhere.’

Jaret’s home state of Texas has its own rich wrestling history with the likes of the famed Von Erich dynasty – the singer even borrowed his early stage name from the legendary family – and he was delighted when he got to speak to one of their rivals as a result of the new single.

‘Their big rivals were the [Fabulous] Freebirds, and Michael Hayes is up in the WWE office now. When we were making the video for Alexa Bliss, Alexa was up in my daughter’s room getting her makeup done, and she had someone come get me and FaceTime Michael Hayes with me,’ he revealed.

‘I was like, “Oh my God!” I was trying not to fan boy out! He had released a record when I was a kid called Badstreet Atlanta GA. I was like “I know all the words to Badstreet Atlanta GA!” He goes, “Oh my God, I don’t even know all the words to that song.” ‘

The new single really is a perfect collaboration, both with Jaret’s early fandom and the fact Alexa has repeatedly said Bowling For Soup are her favourite ever band.

Little Miss Bliss will have plenty to get excited about too, with BFS – riding high after their most successful UK tour to date with a sell-out run including shows in Glasgow, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, London and Brighton – plotting more singles, covers and a second collection of re-recordings from throughout their career.



‘We’ve unofficially officially announced that, we are about to put that into the world. Around Download, our plan is to release Songs People Actually Like Volume 2,’ he confirmed, while revealing it will also feature Alexa Bliss and a brand new original song.

‘My vision is to keep continually putting something out every six weeks. Another great thing about the world of music today is to be able to put out cover songs – you don’t have to go through all of the accounting mumbo-jumbo because the streaming services do it for you! We’ve been hammering out the cover songs.

‘It’s funny, I start to talk about that, and then I’m just like – it’d be cool to do a proper album. Going in and recording and having that thing done at the end of it, it’s so much fun.’
