Alexa Bliss has unquestionably come a long way since her days spent in NXT as the valet for Wesley Blake and her real-life fiancee Buddy Murphy, and Bliss has since become one the WWE's top main roster women's wrestlers with multiple lengthy title reigns under her belt. While some fans give Alexa a hard time considering they believe the WWE has more talented women's wrestlers who are deserving of the spotlight more than Bliss (names such as Sasha Banks, Bayley among others), the simple fact remains Alexa Bliss does her job as the bratty top heel well.
Alexa has risen through the ranks at an extremely accelerated pace since joining the companies main roster, and though this is all well and good, a quick and significant push is bound to tick off some co-workers -- this is definitely true for Alexa Bliss and the women's locker room especially... With that being said, on the flip side, Alexa Bliss has also made many good friends since her debut on SmackDown Live back in December 2016. Today, we are going to be looking at 3 WWE wrestlers Alexa Bliss is good friends with, and 2 she probably doesn't like.

#5 Friend: Mickie James
Despite the fact Alexa Bliss and Mickie James have spent some time on-screen as rivals in WWE, Alexa is actually great friends with the veteran women's wrestlers behind the scenes. While she has not captured the Women's Championship since returning to WWE, Mickie James has undoubtedly once again established herself as one of the Women's Division's locker room leaders, and she has definitely taken Bliss under her wing...
The professional wrestling industry can be extremely cutthroat at times, so it's certainly a plus to have a friend in a position of seniority like James. Mickie James seems to get along with most talent backstage, so it's not all too surprising that she's friends with Bliss. Mickie James is now once again aligned with Alexa Bliss on-screen, so it's very likely that they're spending even more time together on the road.
#4 Friend: Carmella
Probably the most surprising "backstage buddy" of Alexa Bliss in WWE would definitely be the former SmackDown Women's Champion Carmella, because upon first inspection, you likely wouldn't think that "The Princess Of Staten Island" and Bliss have much in common... However, Alexa has been friends with Carmella since their time spent together in NXT a few years back, and they have been showcased traveling amongst each other on the WWE's network show "Ride Along".
It's quite fitting that Carmella and Alexa are friends, as they both came from extraordinarily similar beginning's -- they both started as valet's for NXT tag teams (Bliss for Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy and Carmella for Enzo Amore and Big Cass). While it can be guaranteed that Bliss and Carmella do not spend nearly as much time together these days seeing they're on opposite brands, you can be assured the two former Women's Champions still keep in touch.
#3 Probably Doesn't Like: Nia Jax
It's crazy how much can change in the span of a year, and this is certainly true for Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss' friendship. Up until a couple of months ago, Nia Jax was Alexa's best friend in WWE, as the two talented women's wrestlers literally did everything together. However, since late July, rumors have been swirling around that Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax have real-life heat -- and no, according to Dave Meltzer, it is not a "work". Nia Jax has apparently unfollowed Bliss on Twitter, and the two have deleted photos of each other together on Instagram...
One of the highlights of their off-screen heat is that Nia Jax had liked a Twitter post which alluded to the notion that Alexa Bliss has "slept" her way to the top of the women's division in WWE. Regardless, it's clear things are rather personal between the two former Women's Champions right now, and it's unlikely we'll be seeing any more photos of Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss together anytime soon...
#2 Friend: Braun Strowman
When you look at the likes of "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman and "Five Feet of Fury" Alexa Bliss, it's doubtful that you would see anything that the two Superstars have in common. However, despite their gigantic size difference, Braun Strowman is actually one of Alexa Bliss' best friends behind the scenes in WWE, and their on-screen pairing reflects their friendship away from the cameras. While Braun Strowman is an absolute monster who cannot be tamed in the squared circle, Braun undoubtedly turns into a "gentle giant" when he's in Alexa Bliss' company, and the two share tons of laughs and smiles together.
Fans got a glimpse of Alexa's and Braun's friendship during an episode of WWE's "Ride Along" show, and they certainly make for hilarious travel buddies. Alexa Bliss has once again been paired with Braun Strowman for the "Mixed Match Challenge" series this year, and they are unquestionably a heavy favorite to win the whole thing this time around...
#1 Probably Doesn't Like: Sasha Banks
One of the most infamous real-life rivalries in the WWE right now would unquestionably have to be "The Boss" Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss, as the two former Women's Champions are rumored to absolutely despise each other with a passion... Although Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss have both went on record to state that they put their personal feelings and animosity towards each other to the side during their on-screen matches, it's clear that there's some serious heat between Bliss and Banks backstage -- for reasons relatively unknown.
While we don't have concrete proof as to why this rivalry developed between Alexa and Sasha, it's highly probable that Sasha's stiff wrestling style in NXT caused some tension with Bliss -- Sasha had broken Bliss' nose during one of their matches. Regardless, despite their hatred for one another, Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks definitely put business first during their matches, as they've put on some great bouts in the recent past.
