Alexa Bliss Dealing With Bad Sinus Infection Going Into WWE Extreme Rules
As noted, Alexa Bliss has missed recent WWE TV events due to an illness. She is still scheduled to team with Nikki Cross for the 2-on-1 Handicap Match against SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley at Sunday's WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
