Alexa Bliss has been off WWE TV for a bit, with plenty of speculation about why. Reports from several outlets suggested she wasn’t injured, and the wrestler herself stated she wasn’t on a hiatus on Twitter.
On Wednesday night, the world learned exactly what she’s been up to: singing, as a contestant on “The Masked Singer.”
Season 9 of the Fox competition singing show introduced a new set of characters, including one in the sixth episode called Axolotl. With the theme being Country Night, Axolotl performed “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” by LeAnn Rimes.
Alas, Fairy and Macaw were the picks to move on to the Battle Royale portion, meaning Axolotl would have to unmask.
And hey, it was Bliss all along.
It was me behind the #AxolotlMask! 🖤🖤🖤 What an amazing experience! Thank you to @Wwe & @MaskedSingerFOX ! The Masked Singer will return next week on @FOXTV! #TheMaskedSinger pic.twitter.com/scD7EEX2rJ

Props to Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg for guessing it was Alexa.
Earlier in the day, Bliss revealed on Instagram that she had a procedure done to remove a skin cancer spot.
No word on when Bliss will return to action in WWE, but at least the debate about why she’s been absent can be put to bed.
