Speaking on Chris Van Vliet's show, Murphy explained what Alexa Bliss (his ex-financee) meant to him:
"I'm grateful for Alexa Bliss. She was a massive, pivotal point since I lived here. Massive. We shared dogs together. They're my family. Rest in peace, Larry (Bliss and Murphy's pet pig who recently passed away). She's been pivotal.
She was with me when I hated [wrestling].We had the ups and downs. She was riding that roller coaster too, but...I don't think that I would've lasted as long. She helped me - she was the shoulder to lean on when stuff got hard.
So, I'm definitely thankful for her. "
Alexa then responded him on Twitter: "Thanks for the kind words Matt . Always been there & I always will be there for you, can't wait to see what you do next. "
They were engaged but broke up in 2018.
