5 reasons why Alexa Bliss is a future legend

She's a four-time women's champion, a martial artist, and five feet of toxic terror. She's Alexa Bliss, the current face of women's wrestling in WWE and the Raw brand's women's champion. Obviously, the company is very high on her, or she wouldn't have met with so much success at such a young age.

But is it too much, too soon? Should the WWE have held Bliss back in their NXT developmental territory for a little longer?

Alexa Bliss is a red-hot commodity right now, and her value will only grow over time.

Here are five reasons that Alexa Bliss is a future legend in the making, in the same lofty group as Mae Young, Sensational Sherri and the Fabulous Moolah.

#5 Top-tier athleticism

Everyone seems to harp on the fact that Alexa used to be a fitness model, and certainly, her beauty is an asset.

However, what no one seems to mention is her gifted athletic background. Alexa has been competing in sports since she could walk. She has been active in softball, track, kickboxing and most importantly, for her ring style -- gymnastics.

Ask anyone, and they'll tell you being a multi-sports athlete takes dedication and talent beyond the norm. Alexa Bliss's supreme athleticism already sets her above many competitors.

#4 She looks like a champion

Alexa Bliss is not only lovely, she cuts the figure of an obvious athlete

Alexa Bliss struggled with an eating disorder when she was younger, and nearly wasted away to under eighty pounds.

Fortunately, she pulled through the difficult recovery process and now you'd never know that she was once waifish. Bliss looks like the top level competitor she is, and in a sport as visual as wrestling, that will serve her for years to come.

#3 Passion for wrestling

Alexa's parents did their best to bring her up as a princess, but this princess likes to mix it up!

Bliss has always been a wrestling fan, and she jumped at the chance when offered a developmental contract with the WWE at the tender age of twenty.

With her obvious good looks, many wonder if she will abandon her wrestling career like Stacy Keibler, but that is not the case.

When asked how long she intends to be a wrestler, Alexa had this to say: "I'd like to wrestle for as long as I can. I've always liked watching wrestling, but once you are on the other end of it, you develop a certain passion for it and respect for it and I would like to accomplish everything I want to before calling it quits."

Alexa is no failed model or actress who turned to wrestling because it was the only outlet available. She wants to be a legend, and has everything she needs to succeed.

#2 Making friends in all the right places

Despite being respected by all of his peers, Shawn Michaels isn't invited to very many social functions because of the way he treated people on his climb to the top of sports entertainment. Though he is now clean and sober, and dedicated to making up for his past, there's no doubt that his attitude hindered his later career.

Alexa Bliss doesn't have that problem. She is well liked and respected by the other women in the locker room, and has formed a friendship both on and off-camera with Nia Jax.

You're only as strong as the people who stand with you, and Alexa knows this. Her ability to get along well with her peers and even rivals speaks well of her career trajectory.

#1 Charisma

Alexa has helped the ratings of E's Total Divas show

Let's get one thing straight; Alexa Bliss does not need to be on Total Divas. The show needs her far more than she needs to appear on it.

Due to her talent, appearance, and moxie, Alexa's spot on the roster is secure. But the fact is that she looks great on reality TV, and it lets her warm and friendly side out to play in stark contrast to her evil queen persona in the ring.

Alexa has loads of charisma, character, and decency, which comes across on the reality show format quite well. Her friendship with Nia Jax is endearing to fans, and she interacts well with others on the show, driving ratings higher.
