When Twitter meets kayfabe. Sometimes in wrestling, the line between what’s real and what’s real only in wrestling can get a little blurry. Occasionally there’s a story going on, like an injury for example, where a fan can’t tell the difference, which is the idea behind wrestling in a nutshell. That seems to be the case with a certain storyline in WWE at the moment, but with the help of Twitter, one of the names involved has seemed to have spilled the beans on the whole thing.
Maybe this wasn’t as bad as it seemed.
Haha!! If you haven’t heard. Alexa is perfectly fine. She couldn’t beat me in the ring, so she blamed it on a fake injury. Trust me, she is perfectly fine. She’s scheduled to be on tour, so you and all your troll friends can come worship your coward goddess. https://t.co/kor5YAeOLX

Opinion: I’m not sure what to think about this one now. It seems unlikely that a WWE star, especially someone important enough to be a champion. This would seem more likely to be total storyline with Jax winning the match and Bliss complaining about the fake injury to set up a rematch. If that’s the case, WWE did a good job of making me believe that she was actually injured. The tweet did the opposite though as it doesn’t sound like something WWE would say.
Do you think Bliss is injured? Will the two of them fight again? Let us know in the comments below.
