Current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Alexa Bliss was recently interviewed by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.si.com/wrestling/2020/04/17/wwe-alexa-bliss-eating-disorder-activism" target="_blank">Sports Illustrated</a>. While the main point of the interview was to promote WWE’s new series “Fight Like A Girl”, Bliss also took the time to address the company&#8217;s actions during the COVID-19 pandemic.



Bliss seems to believe that WWE’s decision to continue producing shows is a good one.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“If we can help people escape reality for a couple minutes, then it’s worth it,” said Bliss.</blockquote>

Aside from still being an active wrestler on the SmackDown roster, Bliss will also be part of Fight Like A Girl. She will be paired with a female participant and they will go through a 10-week training session that aims to produce physical and mental improvements.



Given that Bliss herself has admittedly struggled with mental and body image problems, she’s a great fit for the show.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;Dealing with eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, I&#8217;m no stranger to mental illness. Every few years, I deal with a really bad spell of depression. You have to know it doesn&#8217;t have to overtake your life,” said Bliss.</blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“Mental illness can dictate someone&#8217;s entire life. I put myself in a position to be in the public eye, but I&#8217;m doing what I love. I&#8217;ve gone to therapy, I&#8217;ve done everything I can do to get my brain in a healthy place,&#8221; she added.</blockquote>



One aspect of her wrestling persona that is a bit indicative of her constant struggles is the fact that she likes to wear a t-shirt as part of her wrestling gear.



While her decision to wear a t-shirt is indeed partly self-consciousness, Bliss also has a “practical” reason for it.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“It’s to promote merch because I think it’s cute,” said Bliss.</blockquote>
