Alexa Bliss was a lifelong sportsperson as well as a cheerleader, growing up. It was the pomp and splendour of professional wrestling that really appealed to her, as a child. Wrestling was something that she always used to watch with her grandmother. Growing up, she battled a life-threatening eating disorder and it was competitive bodybuilding that brought Alexa Bliss back on track again.
Bliss was signed by NXT in the year 2013 and made her televised debut in the same year, when she congratulated Paige, the Women’s Champion. She even appeared as a part of Triple H’s WrestleMania entrance, which became her official main roster debut. While Bliss made her first foray into NXT as a babyface, she really came into her own when she finally turned heel. Acting as the valet for Blake and Murphy, Bliss showed her potential to the world at large.
The trio was disbanded soon after. It was clear that Bliss was the star among the three, and that her career would be front and center, going forward. While she was almost a nonentity during her NXT days, she would come into her own on the main roster.
Having spent three years in NXT, Bliss was brought up to the main roster in the year 2016. She was one of the women called up after the first brand split. Bliss seemed far more comfortable in the main roster, and was even booked better. She immediately got into title contention, three months after she was called up.
At TLC, Alexa Bliss defeated the inaugural SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and became the SmackDown Women’s Champion. She carried the title all the way to Elimination Chamber, where she came up short (absolutely no pun intended at all) against Naomi. However, Naomi was forced to surrender her Championship owing to a legitimate injury. Bliss would recapture the Championship.
Bliss went into WrestleMania 33 as the SmackDown Women’s Champion in Orlando. However, Naomi would pick up the win, on the grandest stage of them all. Bliss could not recapture her Championship in the rematch that followed.
Bigger and better things awaited Alexa Bliss on RAW. Bliss could capture the RAW Women’s Championship from Bayley at Payback. This was a historic feat as she became the first woman to be both the RAW and the SmackDown Women’s Champion, following the recent brand split. At the conclusion of her feud with Bayley, she would enter into a feud with Sasha Banks.
While the Bayley feud was a dud, Bliss had a few interesting matches with Banks. Banks won the Championship from Bliss at one point, but Bliss won it back in merely eight days. Bliss would go on to feud with Mickie James, who ended up becoming one of her closest allies.
Bliss could create history by winning the first ever Women’s Elimination Chamber match. This came on the heels of her accusing RAW General Manager Kurt Angle of being a complete sexist.
Bliss would simultaneously team up with Braun Strowman for the Mixed Match Challenge Tournament. The two would even tease a romantic angle during the course of the tournament, after they landed up in rather scandalous situations. The twosome was eliminated in the Semi Final Round by the team of The Miz and Asuka.
Bliss is an active member of the Total Divas Cast, and she joined the fray in the seventh season of the show. She was also part of the historic first ever Women’s match in Abu Dhabi, where she had a special outfit made for her match against ‘The Boss’ Sasha Banks.
Bliss is a part of WWE 2K17 and 2K18, like the rest of the WWE roster. While Bliss was not an active participant in the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble match, she did watch from the sidelines and was part of a memorable segment featuring MMA megastar Ronda Rousey
.
It is a very well-known fact that Bliss and fellow RAW superstar Nia Jax are the best of friends, even outside the company. Bliss is currently engaged to NXT superstar Buddy Murphy, much to the dismay of the entire male population that watches WWE.
Bliss has been very vocal about how much she loves Disney, and has stated time and again, how she would visit Walt Disney Walt as a child. Bliss is a woman with a magnetic personality and an incredible future, we believe. Long live Little Miss Bliss!
