Fans have wondered about Alexa Bliss‘ whereabouts given her absence from WWE television for most of 2023. Her pairing with Bray Wyatt, another missed presence on Raw and SmackDown, could have been the cause of her sabbatical or WWE simply not having any plans for her on either brand, as she went undrafted earlier this month.
Well, it turns out that the reasoning is completely wholesome and wonderful.
Today, Bliss and her husband, musician Ryan Cabrera, announced on Twitter that they are expecting their first baby, due in December 2023!

Bliss told E! News that it came as a surprise to her and Cabrera.
“It was a total surprise, as we weren’t trying at all,” the professional wrestler, 31, noted. As for Ryan, 40, he explained that though they were “one million percent surprised,” the couple simply “couldn’t be more excited.”
“We Facetimed my mom immediately,” Alexa added. “And then shared the news with Ryan’s family.”
They also had two reveal parties, in Los Angeles and Orlando, to celebrate the news with family and friends.
Speculation about Bliss’ WWE future, including a potential reteaming with Wyatt and continuing their story, has circulated for a while, but that will obviously end for the rest of the year and beyond. However, it raises even more questions about what Wyatt will do — if and when he returns to WWE programming, but that comes secondary to Tuesday’s exciting news.
May began with one happy WWE announcement and closed with another. Congrats to the happy couple on their momentous occasion!
