Recently, the WWE Universe received an important update regarding the former women’s champion, shedding light on her absence and future plans.
Alexa Bliss’s Absence from WWE Television
Bliss’s last televised match was at the Royal Rumble premium live event where she challenged Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship. Following her defeat, she disappeared from WWE programming, sparking speculation about the reasons behind her hiatus. Initially, there was no clear indication whether her absence was due to an injury, creative direction, or personal reasons. The WWE Universe eagerly awaited news regarding “The Goddess” and her potential return to the ring. A storyline involving a teased reunion with Bray Wyatt also remained unresolved as Wyatt himself also went off-screen leading up to WrestleMania 39, further fueling questions about Bliss’s status and future in WWE.
Skin Cancer Diagnosis and Health Procedure
In a recent update shared on social media, Alexa Bliss, whose real name is Alexis Cabrera, revealed the reason for her absence. Bliss bravely disclosed that she had been diagnosed with skin cancer and had undergone a procedure to address it. In an Instagram story, she shared a message to her younger self about avoiding tanning beds, reassuring fans that she is now “all clear.” Expanding on this, in a Twitter interaction, Bliss responded to concerned fans, confirming a short healing time and emphasizing the importance of regular skin checks, especially for those who are frequently in the sun or use tanning beds.
Thank you! Don’t worry, short healing time. Always get your skin checked! Esp if you are in the sun or use tanning beds! Lol

When a fan inquired about the symptoms that led to her check-up, Bliss further elaborated, stating that she noticed a spot on her face that had worsened. A biopsy revealed basal cell carcinoma, and during the procedure, doctors also discovered squamous cells. Bliss described the procedure as “quick and easy” and expressed gratitude for her proactive approach to skin health.
There was a spot on my face yes- that had gotten worse. So went to get biopsy. Was basal cell carcinoma. During my procedure doc also found other squamous cells. Was a quick and easy procedure. Glad I always get my skin checked 😊
