“It’s going to be amazing! I can’t wait to see it at all. How is it going to feel when you finally get to see yourself 15-feet tall on video screens behind the band? We were there for the live debut of the song on Monday night in Glasgow. Jaret and the band had a very certain vision of how the shoot and the video was gonna go. He said, ‘The song’s all about you, so you should be in the whole video!’ It all just happened to work out in that certain way. I was originally supposed to have just a short cameo role, but when my schedule freed up I realised that I was able to shoot in Texas over multiple days – so Jaret just decided that they’d put me throughout the whole video. “The video was all Jaret’s – and the band’s – idea.

How did you get involved in the music video – and where did that weird science concept come from?

I mean, you grow up listening to your favourite band, but who ever gets the opportunity to have your favourite band write a song about you – then invite you to come be in the music video! You can’t even explain it. I still have the reaction video on my phone. "Then, on my birthday, I was in Toronto when Jaret texted me to say, ‘Hey, happy birthday! Here’s something that we’re working on that I wanted to send to you today!’ It was the song! I totally freaked out. He’s a huge wrestling fan, so I invited him to the Royal Rumble, where I got to introduce him and his family to their favourite wrestlers, which was amazing. It started when I gave an interview at a WWE 2K party, where I said that Bowling For Soup were my favourite band, and Jaret reached out to say that how awesome that was. “You know, I really didn’t have much involvement in writing or recording the song at all. They were the first concert that I ever went to, and the last one I saw at home, literally the day before I moved to Tampa to go into WWE developmental! Also, if you listen to the lyrics, I think they strike the perfect balance between Alexa Bliss and (Alexa’s real life alter-ego) Alexis Kaufman.” “Oh my gosh, it’s amazing! It’s definitely my childhood – and my life’s – dream come true. Hey Alexa! So, how does it feel to be featured in the latest single from Bowling For Soup?
