Anime and professional wrestling may seem like two completely different worlds, but they share more similarities than one might think, especially in Sakamoto Days. Both thrive on high-energy action, over-the-top characters, and dramatic storytelling that keeps audiences hooked. Now, these two fandoms are colliding in a big way as former WWE superstar Alexa Bliss lends her voice to a major anime role, making her Netflix debut in the highly anticipated adaptation of Sakamoto Days.

According to a video from @NetflixGeeked's X , Bliss, a decorated pro wrestler known for her dynamic in-ring presence and theatrical charisma, is ing the Sakamoto Days English dub cast with the role of Obiguro, an assassin set on taking down the unassuming yet dangerous protagonist, Sakamoto. With Sakamoto Days bringing its blend of action and comedy to life, Bliss’s involvement adds an exciting new layer to the anime’s already thrilling season.

Alexa Blis made a name for herself in WWE with her sharp promos, expressive personality, and ability to switch from playful mischief to cold-blooded aggression. These traits make her a perfect fit for Sakamoto Days' Obiguro, a deadly assassin whose job is to eliminate Sakamoto. While Bliss is no stranger to performing for massive audiences, stepping into the world of anime is a new challenge. Voice acting requires a different kind of performance, one that relies entirely on vocal tone, intensity, and delivery.

However, Bliss’s experience as a performer makes her a natural choice for this kind of role. In wrestling, she has mastered the art of portraying a larger-than-life character, and that skill translates well to anime, where emotions are often exaggerated for dramatic or comedic effect. As Obiguro, she will need to balance the character’s lethal edge with the humor that makes Sakamoto Days so special. With Bliss at the helm, fans can expect a performance packed with energy, emotion, and a touch of WWE-style flair.

Sakamoto Days follows Taro Sakamoto, a former assassin who retired to run a convenience store with his wife, only to find that his past refuses to let him go. Every day brings a new threat, and despite his quiet life, Sakamoto constantly finds himself pulled back into the world of high-stakes action. The arrival of Obiguro, a ruthless killer, only adds to his growing list of problems, proving that no matter how hard he tries, peace is always out of reach.

Obiguro and the other assassins' pursuit of Sakamoto fills the series with tension and excitement, and Bliss’s portrayal will likely heighten the intensity. Fans of both WWE and anime will enjoy seeing how she brings the assassin to life, infusing the character with the same fiery determination she displayed in the wrestling ring. With Sakamoto Days already being one of Netflix's most popular anime ever, Bliss's involvement makes the anime even more of a must-watch, bridging the gap between wrestling and anime in a way that feels natural and exciting.
