5 former WWE opponents who are real-life best friends

#3 Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax

Nia Jax defeated Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania 34 to win the Raw Women’s Championship for the first time in her career.

The build-up to the match revolved around Bliss and Mickie James mocking Jax’s weight in backstage segments on Raw, leading to them facing off in a rare one-on-one women’s match at WWE’s annual extravaganza.

Speaking on her ‘WWE 365’ documentary on the WWE Network, Bliss highlighted the importance of addressing bullying in their storyline and said it was “awesome” to lose her title to her friend on such a memorable stage.

"It's no secret that Nia and I are best friends. To see Nia holding the title up and knowing that my best friend is having her WrestleMania moment and I was able to share that with her was awesome. We did the best job at our abilities to make the payoff and show that bullies never win and the good guy will prevail because of the story we had told leading up to it."

Various reports in late 2018 claimed that the two women had fallen out, but Bliss clarified on Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast that they remained good friends but they were unable to see each other as much due to Jax’s filming schedule with Total Divas.
