Bowling For Soup pays homage to WWE's Alexa Bliss with new single "Alexa Bliss"

Anyone who follows WWE superstar Alexa Bliss on social media knows about her love for pop punk group Bowling For Soup. Today, the band unveiled a song dedicated to the professional wrestler. “With a main riff that’s perhaps the heaviest in the history of Bowling For Soup, combined with frenetic verses, a chorus bigger than their home state of Texas and more references to Alexa Bliss and WWE than an episode of Smackdown, this is a song that will thrill fans of BFS, WWE and beyond,” the band said in a statement.

The music video, which was directed by Jason Whitbeck, pays tribute to the 1980's movie Weird Science. After creating Bliss from their computer, two boys go on the adventure of a lifetime. Bliss stars in the video as herself. You can check it out below.

Bowling For Soup will kick off their U.K. tour with Simple Plan next week, and most of the trek is already sold out. The band’s last studio album was 2016’s Drunk Dynasty.
