Alexa Bliss: What Happened? Husband, Real Name, Height & Return

If you’ve been scanning WWE’s weekly shows and noticed one familiar face missing from the ring — Alexa Bliss — you’re far from the only one wondering what happened. The five-foot-one superstar known for her “Goddess” persona stepped away from the squared circle in early 2023 to welcome a child with husband Ryan Cabrera.

WWE debut year: 2013 (NXT), 2016 (main roster) · Total championships: 7 (4x Raw, 3x SmackDown) · Height: 5 ft 1 in (155 cm) · Spouse: Ryan Cabrera (married 2022) · Children: 1 (daughter Hendrix, born Nov 2023)

Eight key data points, one pattern: Alexa Bliss’s story is one of transformation — from a five-foot-one fitness competitor to a seven-time champion, wife, and now mother.

What has happened to Alexa Bliss?

Why did Alexa Bliss leave WWE in 2023?

• Bliss announced her pregnancy with husband Ryan Cabrera in May 2023, via social media (USA Network, WWE’s broadcast partner).
• She had been absent from WWE television through much of 2023 and 2024 due to maternity leave (Yahoo Entertainment).
• WWE extended her contract so she could return when ready after childbirth (USA Network).

The implication: Bliss’s absence is voluntary — a planned family break, not a backstage fallout or injury.

When will Alexa Bliss return to WWE?

• As of January 2024, there were no definitive indications she would return at the Royal Rumble 2024 (Yahoo Entertainment).

• Bliss said WWE was accommodating about bringing her child on the road (Fightful).

The trade-off: returning too soon could disrupt her family routine, but staying away risks losing momentum in a competitive women’s division.
