WWE’s Alexa Bliss shows stitches from cancer surgery: ‘Lookin’ like Frankenstein’

Alexa Bliss revealed a big scar on the side of her face after skin cancer surgery.

The 31-year-old WWE superstar informed her followers last week that she had undergone a procedure to remove the cancer.

Monday night, Bliss, whose real name is Alexis Cabrera (nee Kaufman), posted a photo in her Instagram story showing the scar on her temple.

“Just over here lookin like Frankenstein,” she captioned.

Bliss has been off WWE television since late January with no reason given for her absence until her revelation last week.

She is a five-time women’s champion — three times on Raw, and twice on SmackDown — and is also a two-time women’s tag team champion.

Last week, she posted a photo of herself with a big bandage on her face, and a caption that read, “Dear younger me, You should have stayed out of tanning beds.”

The wrestling star also responded to a follower who asked if she saw a spot or marks that caused her to get checked.

“There was a spot on my face yes- that had gotten worse,” Bliss answered.

“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.”

Thankfully, she said that after the ordeal she was “all clear.”

Bliss married singer Ryan Cabrera in a rockstar-themed wedding in California last year.

With no previous experience in professional wrestling, she signed with WWE’s developmental brand NXT in 2013 and was ultimately promoted to the main roster in 2016.

In 2019, she revealed to The Post’s Joseph Staszewski that she feared her WWE run had come to an end after suffering multiple concussions.

“There’s so many different types of concussions and I didn’t know that at the time,” Bliss said.

“Each one had to be treated differently and the fact that I didn’t know what was going on with my brain and didn’t know until I saw the concussion specialist, it made me very scared.”
