Alexa Bliss Unveils Major WWE Netflix Surprise with Sakamoto Days Role

Former WWE Women’s Champion, Alexa Bliss, has made a splash with an exciting announcement regarding her new venture into voice acting. She will lend her voice to a character in the popular anime series, Sakamoto Days, streaming on Netflix.

Known in the wrestling world as Alexis Cabrera, Bliss has not graced the WWE ring since the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View event in early 2023, where she faced off against Bianca Belair for the RAW Women’s Championship but fell short. Following this event, Alexa Bliss took a leave of absence to welcome her new daughter and has not made her in-ring return yet, much to the dismay of her enthusiastic fans.

In her announcement, Bliss expressed enthusiasm, stating, “Such an honor to voice ‘Obiguro’ in SAKAMOTO DAYS! Can’t wait for this!!!” Although she has previous experience in voice acting for smaller roles, such as in Netflix’s The Queen of Villains, this new role marks a significant milestone in her career.

Sakamoto Days is based on a beloved manga series that has garnered a dedicated fanbase eagerly awaiting Netflix’s adaptation. Despite some initial skepticism regarding the animation style, there has been growing optimism about the final product.

Following her announcement, fans took to social media and flooded the comments section, expressing their excitement. Comments included, “Yeah, you’re gonna kill that role. I read the manga, you’re a good fit!” and “I may have to watch this just because you are in it,” showcasing the strong support from her fanbase.

This week marks an extraordinary moment for WWE, as the league made its much-anticipated debut on Netflix with its flagship series, RAW, achieving phenomenal viewership and even surpassing the immensely popular Squid Game Season 2 in ratings. The episode was packed with surprises, unveiling appearances from iconic figures like The Rock, John Cena, and the Undertaker. Alexa Bliss’s role in Sakamoto Days adds yet another layer of excitement to a week full of WWE and Netflix surprises.
