– Mick Foley spoke with WrestleZone Radio for a new interview and discussed Alexa Bliss’ feud with Nia Jax, plus more. Highlights are below:

On Mustafa Ali breaking the mold of the traditional WWE star: “I don’t think it takes a progressive mind to think it’s positive for WWE to have a guy of middle eastern descent as a babyface. It’s great and it’s a long time coming. I retweet a lot of his stuff. I find him very interesting on social media. Some of the stuff he says is really touching. Some people have a knack for producing interesting tweets and I think he does. He’s just a guy working hard, living out a dream, loving his family and of middle eastern descent. I think it’s great and I like him personally.”

On if he has issues with Alexa Bliss body shamming Nia Jax during their WrestleMania feud “Heels are bullies! (Laughs) You can’t be saying, ‘Oh, come on, she’s not such a bad girl!’ Alexa is an awful…I want to be quoted…she does a great job at being an awful heel. I think she’s a great heel and I think that should be open territory. The same way that The Rock can make fun of my body, you can’t take away every tool from a heel’s arsenal. I liked when Alexa was working with Mickie. I thought that was a really effective storyline that makes people angry and sit up and take notice. It makes them feel for Nia and I think that’s a good thing. I hear all the time, ‘What happened to Be A Star?’ Or, ‘What happened to tolerance?’ It’s like, we’re characters, we can’t have a show called ‘Big Guys Getting Along Making Points’. You have to have a reason for them to go in to the ring and I think they have given us that reason.”
