Alexa Bliss recently spoke to FOX Sports' Charlotte Wilder and reflected on missing the historic Evolution PPV. She was supposed to face Trish Stratus, but that was later changed to a tag team match also involving Mickie James and Lita before an injury forced WWE to completely pull Bliss from the bout and replace her with Alicia Fox.
"It was tough. I was supposed to have a match against Trish Stratus in the beginning," Bliss recalled. "I watched Trish growing up. I loved Trish. Everything that I did in NXT, I tried to emulate Trish like her attitude. So it was like getting a match with your WWE hero. I was so excited. Then it got turned into a tag match, which was even cooler because then I was gonna get in the ring with Trish and Lita with Mickie James as my partner. What's better than having a match with Trish? Having a match with Trish and Lita."
"Unfortunately, I was dealing with concussions, and I had to do a live event. WWE wanted me to get back in the ring before Evolution. I was booked on the live events, and during a live event, I ended up getting re-concussed again. I remember being in the trainer's room after, and they said, 'You're concussed again. That means no Evolution,' which really sucked."
Bliss went on to explain that she suffered from vertigo as a result of her concussions and found out that she wouldn't be part of Evolution while on the plane ride to the show. This explains why she was out of the ring for such a long time, but things thankfully improved for Bliss and she's now back in the ring. However, she still has her sights set on the dream match she missed out on.
"I would love to have the Evolution match that I didn't get to have," Bliss continued. "I would love to tag team with Mickie James against Trish and Lita. I think that's one of the matches that I wish I had. I don't know if it's really an option, but that's always gonna be a match that I wish I had. If I could go back in time, I wish I could have that match."
