-Alexa Bliss is in-studio for the next segment. Her interview begins by her discussing her and her family's love for the WWE. Moon asks Bliss to talk about how she got into wrestling. Bliss says that when she wasn't ready to "adult just yet," she heard from someone close to her that there was a WWE tryout. She recorded a video of herself and was invited to try out. Her first time around, she didn't make the cut. But after a few tries, she got in.
-Next, Bliss talks about how she and Nikki Cross formed their alliance.
