It was recently announced that Alexa Bliss has been replaced by Nikki Cross for this weekend’s (Sun. May 19, 2019) Money In The Bank (MITB) Ladder match. The announcement revealed Bliss wasn’t medically cleared to compete, and had been pulled from the contest. However, the announcement did not specify what exactly was wrong with the former RAW Women’s Champion.
F4WOnline’s Dave Meltzer subsequently reported that Bliss was removed from the match for injury reasons. While Meltzer was unable to report the exact nature of the injury, he did note he was told it was not serious and Bliss being pulled was a precautionary measure since it was a Ladder match.
But according to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Bliss was pulled after suffering another concussion. This is concerning due to Bliss having suffered several concussions over the course of her run with WWE. She hasn’t competed in the ring since losing to Naomi on the April 29 episode of Monday Night RAW.
