Alexa Bliss wants the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to get a bigger spotlight at WrestleMania 36.

The SmackDown superstar – who held the gold last year with her BFF Nikki Cross – has set her sights on regaining the belts and thinks the upcoming Show of Shows in Tampa, Florida would be the perfect way to bring relevancy to the relatively new titles, with Bayley and Sasha Banks being crowned inaugural champs in February 2019.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, she said: ‘I would love for us to go for the tag team championships again. We’re establishing the women’s tag division still, and there’s no better place to showcase the titles than at WrestleMania!




‘I think our women’s tag division has some of the most talented women on the roster, you just don’t see that because the tag division is so new and it’s not getting as big of a spotlight. But it’s just a matter of time because the titles area so new, and I think WrestleMania is the perfect spotlight for it!’

Since the Kabuki Warriors – Kairi Sane and Asuka – won the gold at Hell In A Cell in October, the tag championships have taken a bit of a back seat as the latter has been more focused on Becky Lynch’s Raw Women’s Title.

However, Alexa – who previously admitted she’s love to have Bowling For Soup play her entrance for WrestleMania this year – and Nikki could be the breath of fresh air the division needs.

The tag team has been a revelation for Little Miss Bliss, as she’s had to get used to working as a babyface rather than drawing the ire of the WWE Universe.

‘It’s been very interesting, being the bad guy for six years and then all of a sudden being told, “Oh you’re a good guy,” ‘ she added. ‘So I’m definitely working on getting rid of those bad guy tendencies – it’s still in my nature to scream at the ref and throw a temper tantrum in the ring, but hopefully I can gear it towards another direction!’

The former women’s champion is glad to be able to let loose on screen, particularly because she’s find it too hard to hold it together with a front row seat to Nikki’s antics.

‘A lot of times I just don’t keep a straight face,’ she admitted. ‘When I was a bad guy, I used to have to keep a straight face all the time, even when stuff was funny.

‘I find that when I’m a good guy I can just laugh things off and it doesn’t really break character that much.’

Alexa also snubbed any mention of a match and feud between the pair, insisting she doesn’t see the real life best friends going separate ways any time soon.



‘Well, yeah when I was first paired with Nikki everyone was like, “Oh no, poor Nikki, she’s gonna turn on her”. Then it became this misfit amazing dynamic tag team,’ she said.

‘No one thought anything of it and it just somehow worked. I’m having a lot of fun with it, and I know Nikki’s having a lot of fun with it, so we’re gonna keep it going for as long as we can.’
