For the 2nd straight cycle, Fox's Masked Singer included an active wrestler in the star-studded field of costumed celebrities. In the last cycle, it was former WWE & AEW champion Chris Jericho, and he was sent home early, faring much, much better than he did the last time he was on a Fox music series (Celebrity Duets, 2006).
On Wednesday, it was WWE's turn.
Former women's champion Alexa Bliss (Lexi Kaufman-Cabrera) overcame a massive issue with stage fright to go on stage as the Axoloti (What?) to cover Leann Rimes' "Can't Fight The Moonlight":
In a post-show interview, Bliss revealed she had gotten encouragement from her husband, singer Ryan Cabrera, and members of *NSYNC, including Joey Fatone. That help, coupled with some rehearsals, produced a performance that likely will get crossover play on Smackdown come Friday. It's too bad Alexa's been eliminated, but this might be the start of a career change should she have to hang up the tights & boots. I can picture her singing backup behind Ryan on his next album.......!
Have no fear, Alexa will likely return to WWE soon enough.
