Alexa Bliss made one thing clear before returning to WWE after becoming a mother: her daughter had to come with her.
Speaking to Brandi Rhodes, Bliss opened up about balancing life on the road with motherhood. She revealed that travelling with her daughter was so important that she included it in her contract.
“It’s definitely really hard, but I’m in so much of the phase of, ‘I don’t want to miss anything she does.’
“So that was one of the biggest things about coming back. I worked it into my contract that she travels with me. I was like, ‘I need to be able to bring my daughter along. That’s non-negotiable,’ because at the time, she was barely a year old, and I was like, ‘I’m not leaving her on the road multiple days a week.’”
With Ryan also touring every weekend, Bliss explained why bringing their daughter along became a priority.
“She has two touring parents because Ryan tours every weekend. He has for the past 10 years. He’s still on tour every weekend.
“And so I said, ‘She needs to go with one of us, and it’s going to be me.’ That was just something that involved a lot of growing pains because now, instead of traveling with two cute little bags, you’re traveling with 10 because you have, at first, a Pack ‘n Play, a travel Pack ‘n Play, a stroller, and a car seat.”
The extra luggage and adjustments have brought their challenges, but Bliss is grateful she can continue her career while being there for her daughter’s milestones.
“Now I’m very grateful for the opportunity to bring her on the road because I get to be there for everything.”
