Alexa Bliss is certainly the object of many wrestling fans’ affections, but I’m sorry to deliver some bad news to you, friends. Alexa Bliss is engaged.
Okay, it’s only bad news to a legion of obsessed followers, and we’re happy for the husband-and-wife to be.
The lucky fellow is none other than Buddy Murphy, the Australian half of the tag team Alexa Bliss formerly managed back in NXT. (You know, the ones we called the dubstep cowboys.)
We’re not quite sure when the engagement took place or how, but an Instagram post last night saw Murphy call Bliss his “best friend, and wife to be.” That’s sweet, right there.

Based on past social media postings, we’ve known that the pair was an item for some time now, but the engagement is new information.
Regardless, congratulations to the couple!
Alexa Bliss, of course, is currently SmackDown Women’s Champion, a title she defended last week with the assistance of a returning Mickie James. Since losing the Tag Team Championship and breaking up with his tag partner, Wesley Blake, Murphy’s been a bit directionless in NXT, but still a solid source of good matches.
