• Alexa Bliss Reveals Why She Got Implants
In the WWE 365 documentary on Alexa Bliss on the WWE Network (which aired after last night’s WWE Stomping Grounds PPV), Alexa Bliss revealed that she got implants at the age of 17 to help her recover from her eating disorder.
Below is what Bliss said:
“There are studies that show that [implants can help] women recover from eating disorders because they feel more womanly and they feel better about their bodies and better about their self-image. I will never regret doing that for myself because it helped me get over my eating disorders and my body image issues.”
