WWE: Check Out Alexa Bliss’ Anime Debut in New Netflix Hit

After being away from WWE for some time, Alexa Bliss recently reappeared at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. Meanwhile, she’s also stepped onto the anime scene with her debut in Netflix‘s top action series of the year so far. This year has been quite impressive for anime, and Netflix has managed to secure some of the most anticipated new anime releases slated for Winter 2024. The most noteworthy among these is a fresh anime adaptation based on Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days. The voice cast for this production is truly outstanding.

Alexa Bliss, also known as Lexi Cabrera in the series, has lent her voice for the English-dubbed version of Sakamoto Days anime. In Episode 4, she voices Obiguro, a skilled assassin determined to eliminate Taro Sakamoto. Despite being driven purely by the excitement of battle, a sneak peek from the episode hints at a secret romantic aspect within Obiguro that Bliss brings to life.
