Alexa Bliss shows injury following SmackDown accident 

WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss showed her injury following this week's edition of SmackDown. The veteran will be competing in a title match at SummerSlam 2025.

Alexa Bliss was defeated by The Judgment Day's Roxanne Perez this past Friday night on SmackDown. The 33-year-old was busted open during the match after going for a Twisted Bliss outside the ring, and showed off the injury today on social media.

Bliss uploaded a new photo with her daughter today on her Instagram story. In the photograph, she can be seen with a bandage on her nose, and you can check it out in the image below.

Bliss and Charlotte Flair will be challenging The Judgment Day's Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez for the Women's Tag Team Championship at WWE SummerSlam 2025.

Liv Morgan used to be one-half of the Women's Tag Team Champions but suffered a shoulder injury last month and will be out of action for the foreseeable future. Roxanne Perez has replaced Morgan during her injury hiatus, and she gifted Dominik Mysterio a Nintendo Switch 2 during last night's episode of RAW.

Ex-WWE employee comments on Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair as a tag team

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair forming a tag team on WWE SmackDown.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown, the former head writer of WWE stated that the company formed the tag team to turn Charlotte Flair babyface. Russo also admitted that he didn't understand why the two decided to work together in the storyline, as the company never provided a reason on television:

"This is their attempt to make Charlotte Flair babyface by giving her a rub with Alexa Bliss. However, there’s no story here. Bliss, there has been no explanation of why she’s saddling up Flair. Give me something man. She’s not trying to really befriend Charlotte. She’s just showing up wherever Charlotte is. Give me something, give me a reason first that so I can understand, wrap my head around it." [14:53 onwards]

It will be interesting to see if Bliss and Flair can win the Women's Tag Team Championship this weekend at SummerSlam 2025.
