Reigning SmackDown LIVE Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss spoke with The Oakland Press to promote tonight’s episode on USA Network and spoke about WWE restricting female performers in the past.

“I remember even when I started with WWE, it was a different ball game. There were all these restrictions and things we couldn’t do, and now, it’s really empowering to know we can do anything that we want and what the guys can do. It gives women the opportunity to show why we’re more than divas and why we’re WWE superstars.”

Additionally, the reigning female champ of WWE’s blue brand also spoke about becoming the current title-holder by defeating Becky Lynch.

“It was amazing! My parents were there. It was their first WWE event, so that was so cool to be able to have the opportunity to win a title with my family there. It was such an amazing moment, especially in this whole era of women empowering and making history.”
