On Friday, January 12, and Saturday, January 13, the bull riding world witnessed an exhilarating showdown at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, marking the seventh event of the Unleash the Beast season. Icons like Cassio Dias, Sage Kimzey, Alex Cerqueira, and many others went head-to-head in battle with the formidable beasts for a bucking showdown.

While the night ended in a spectacular for World Number 1 Cassio Dias, the legendary Sage Kimzey unfortunately trialed. Despite the loss, his biggest cheerleaders eagerly awaited his return with open arms, but instead, his wife, Alexis Bloomer, expressed disappointment and raised an unexpected complaint.

In an Instagram story, Alexis Bloomer raised an unlikely complaint days after Sage Kimzey’s performance at the Unleash the Beast event in Chicago. Sharing a stunning selfie with flawless makeup, Alexis wore a puzzled expression, and the caption read, “Wondering why Chicago won’t give me my husband back. This weather is insane.”

The complaint seemed to keep Mrs. Kimzey worried, as in some parts of Chicago, wind chills have been reported to be at temperatures dropping to 40 degrees below zero, with nearly 300 flight cancellations, according to NBC Chicago. As Alexis Bloomer and fans await for Sage Kimzey to get home soon and safely and be reunited with his family, let us reflect on the incredible sold-out Saturday night at the PBR.
