Alexa Bliss Reveals Post-Pregnancy WWE Struggles—‘Even Trying Not to Pee Was Hard’

Alexa Bliss didn’t sugarcoat the realities of returning to the ring after giving birth.

During her appearance on The Nikki & Brie Show, the WWE star shared funny but brutally honest stories about how much her body—and even basic moves—felt different after pregnancy. Bliss admitted that getting used to her body again inside the ring was far from easy.

“Getting used to my body in the ring was hard too. ‘Cause you know… you… it was like when I first went to the Performance Center and started training… I was doing rolls… and I just remember thinking like… so my brain is telling my body to do something… but my body’s not doing it the way it normally does.”

She explained that even the most basic things, like front rolls, suddenly felt foreign.

“And then when I did it, it didn’t feel right… ‘cause it didn’t feel like my body doing it. It was like a weird like brain-body disconnect. And then you’re like building your core back together. And that was probably… that was really hard. Relearning my body was really hard… because it was something that… you know… I’ve done front rolls and stuff since I was four years old. I was a gymnast my whole life. So like something that was so second nature… was so weird… and didn’t feel like me. I was like… oh… this is weird.”

Bliss also pointed out how coming back required her to rethink even her wrestling gear.

“And I had to relearn my body… relearn, you know, what fits me, what doesn’t, what, you know, what looks good, what doesn’t. And I think that was something that was a little different coming back… being like, oh… now I actually have to worry about like… like… you know… what fits the right way… when, you know, before it was just, oh, as long as it’s stretchy, it’s fine… you know… like it’s… it’s spandex… it’ll fit, you know… but now it’s like… no, it needs to be a certain cut, certain style, you know… certain everything.”

Of course, some of the struggles were even more awkward—like trying not to pee mid-match.

“And then like certain… certain bumps… like I… I do a lot of dropkicks… but like at first that was… that was rough… you know… the dropkicks was rough first… because you… your bladder… and… oh yeah… trying not to pee.”

Nikki Bella immediately chimed in with her own experience, saying the front rolls were also tough for her post-baby.

“It is so true though… like how different it feels. It’s funny that you say the front rolls… because when I went to the PC and trained… that was my first thing where the front rolls felt so foreign… and I’m like… gosh… I’m feeling like I’m getting vertigo… like… and it’s just weird.”

Bella added that even her core felt hollow after pregnancy.

“The getting up… ‘cause yeah… I feel like… and I don’t know if you feel like this… but I feel like there’s just like an empty space in my core… like where he grew… I’m like… it just feels like an empty space… and I’m like… I don’t know if like abs are torn there… the pelvic floor is all messed up… I don’t know what it is… but it’s just weird.”

Bliss agreed completely.

“Yeah… it’s all different. Yeah… it’s all… if… it’s such a… it’s such a like… like… especially like right here is where like for me… it’s like… oh… like… yeah… there’s like no muscle there now… and it’s… it’s just weird.”

And for Bliss, some body changes are now impossible to ignore.

“And now it’s like… oh… if I have a certain meal… now it shows up there the next day… instead of like being able to just work it off… and now it’s like… nope… that’s going to stay there.”

Bliss didn’t hold back, and honestly, that’s exactly why fans love her. From bladder issues mid-dropkick to feeling like her own body betrayed her, she kept it real in the most relatable way possible. Being a mom in the wrestling world isn’t easy—but Bliss is proving she’s still got it, even if the front rolls feel a little weird these days.
