As E!’s Total Divas converge on New York City for a SummerSlam-centric two-parter, we get our first glimpse at Alexa Bliss’ relationship with NXT Superstar Buddy Murphy, who she’s been engaged to for two years with no ceremony in sight. That’s a result of their wildly differing schedules, though given that he hasn’t been moved to Raw and is dealing with an injury, they’re both realistic about the possibility of him getting released.
Alexa is stressing out over the various ways in which their relationship could suffer if that does happen, and Nia Jax bluntly suggests that Alexa is dragging her feet and reaching for excuses not to marry Murphy. This doesn’t go over well, and when Alexa bails on a shopping trip for Maryse’s upcoming party, Nia gets the hint and she apologizes for not pulling her punches ever so slightly. Alexa accepts, and comes to realize she’s lucky that Nia cares.
