Alexa Bliss is a true pioneer of the women's evolution in the WWE. Bliss has held seven championships in the WWE, and is one of only three women in the WWE roster to have won the RAW, Smackdown and tag team titles in the women's division. However, she had quite the humble beginning in the company.

She initially had a 'fairy' gimmick, and was floundering in NXT. Bliss eventually carved a niche for herself by becoming the manager of the tag team of Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake. She would guide them during their NXT Tag team championship reign, beating the Carmella-managed team of Enzo & Cass.

Bliss, who was then dating Murphy in real-life, had a few title shots at the NXT Women's title against Bayley, but came up short. When she was called up to the main roster in 2016, expectations were low. She competed in a six pack elimination match to crown the first Smackdown women's champion, but was the first person eliminated.

While she didn't win the title that night, her charisma soon won over the audience. The Harley Quinn-inspired 'Little Ms. Bliss' soon got her mic time and dominated the entire women's division, so much so that WWE's top brass made the decision to take the title off the popular Becky Lynch and put it on Bliss.

She would go on from strength to strength, winning the Smackdown title three times in total before moving over to RAW and winning the RAW women's title twice. She has been credited as a major player on the women's scene, defending the women's title at Wrestlemania 33 and 34, hosting Wrestlemania 35, and winning the tag team titles at Wrestlemania 36.

While Bliss' was forced to limit her in-ring career over the past year due to concussion issues, she still towers over her former clients. Murphy enjoyed a Cruiserweight title run and has won the RAW tag team titles with Seth Rollins, and is a part of the Monday Night Messiah's faction. Meanwhile, Blake is also a part of the main roster as part of the Forgotten Sons, but has not been seen on TV for months.
