Today is the birthday of Alexa Bliss, and how better to celebrate than taking a look at some of the best moments of her WWE career so far?
Alexa Bliss has been a part of WWE since 2013, where she debuted in NXT with a glitter fairy gimmick. Bliss then moved on to align with Blake and Murphy, signaling a heel turn for the performer. After the trio disbanded, Bliss moved on to SmackDown in 2016.
Following her move to SmackDown, Alexa Bliss been a focal part of the women's roster. She won the SmackDown Women's title and later became the first woman in WWE to win both the RAW and SmackDown Women's titles, as well as being one-half of the first team to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship twice.
Let's take a look at some of the biggest moments from Alexa Bliss so far in WWE.
#5 When Alexa Bliss was attacked by The Fiend
On SmackDown, the break up of Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross has been rumored for weeks now. Fans thought that the moment had finally come when Bliss went to console Cross after her recent loss to Bayley. Bliss went to show her support to her friend, who pushed her to the ground and stormed out of the ring.
Seconds after Cross disappeared, lights began to flicker and turn red, and The Fiend appeared behind Alexa. Bliss was able to tap into her acting skills to portray her fear, as she remained frozen in the center of the ring. 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt then used the Mandible Claw on her, causing horrified reactions from the crowd.
The segment caused a huge reaction, with fans bringing many theories to the table as to where did could go next - maybe Little Miss Bliss is about to become Sister Abigail?
#4 When Bliss and Cross won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
The partnership between Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross was an unexpected one, but the pair had great chemistry together and Cross was instrumental in Bliss's eventual face turn, with the pair often claiming that they brought out the best in one another.
The Women's Tag Team Championship was won by The IIconics at WrestleMania 35, where they beat The Boss N Hug Connection, Nia Jax & Tamina, and Beth Phoenix & Natalya in a fatal four-way match. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross had unsuccessfully challenged the Aussie pair not long after WrestleMania, but on an episode of RAW, they managed to win the titles in a fatal four-way tag elimination match.
The duo managed to fend off fierce competition to be crowned champions, including The Kabuki Warriors and Fire and Desire. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross held on to the belts for 61 days before dropping them to The Kabuki Warriors and winning them back a few months later at WrestleMania 36. This win made Bliss and Cross a part of history, becoming the first two-time winners of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
#3 When Alexa Bliss attacked Becky Lynch
In 2016, Alexa Bliss was a fresh face on the SmackDown roster, and Becky Lynch had the Women's Championship - which Bliss was hungry for. The rivalry between the pair was the classic cocky heel versus fan favorite babyface, with Bliss playing the perfect mean girl, and Lynch as the relatable, scrappy fighter.
The feud between Bliss and Lynch went on well into the year, with the pair involved in several great matches. During this time, Alexa Bliss was able to show her strong mic work, and she and Lynch made waves as much for their verbal blows as their time between the ropes.
A standout moment of this rivalry was on an episode of SmackDown, where in the lead up to Lynch putting the title on the line, the pair exploded at one another. Bliss berated Lynch before they began exchanging blows, and Alexa was able to overpower her. When Becky was laid out in the middle of the ring, The Goddess of WWE grabbed a can of spray paint, marking her prey.
#2 When Alexa Bliss became Miss Money in the Bank
Back in 2018, Alexa Bliss earned her way into the women's Money in the Bank ladder match by defeating Bayley and Mickie James in a triple threat match. The event was only the second time that the women of WWE competed for the contract.
In the 2018 edition of the contest, the match was filled with fan favorites from across the SmackDown and RAW rosters, including Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, and Ember Moon, providing stiff competition for Little Miss Bliss.
Alexa Bliss emerged the winner, proudly standing aloft the ladders while her competitors looked on. Later that night, Bliss became the first female Superstar to cash in her contract on the same night, bursting in on the bout between Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax to do so. When she interrupted, she hit both women with her newly-won briefcase and pinned Nia Jax after a Twisted Bliss to become the new RAW Women's Champion.
The win that night marked the beginning of Bliss' third reign with the belt, lasting 63 days until Ronda Rousey defeated her at SummerSlam that year.
#1 When Alexa Bliss won the RAW Women's Championship at Elimination Chamber
In 2018, Alexa Bliss was the reigning RAW Women's Champion after beating Bayley for the belt at Payback the previous year. The 2018 edition of Elimination Chamber was the first time that women had entered the steel structure, with Alexa Bliss stepping in to defend her title against Mickie James, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Sasha Banks, and Bayley.
Bliss was the last to enter the match and was quick to use sneaky tactics to avoid her competitors. When her pod opened, she jammed the door against Banks and Bayley and escaped on the other side before scaling the sides. Bayley was eliminated after a roll-up from Bliss, leaving her and Banks as the last two performers left in the match.
Bliss then scrambled to the top of her pod, hitting Banks with a Twisted Bliss to retain the title. After Bliss was crowned the winner, Renee Young came to congratulate her. As the crowd chanted "you deserve it", Little Miss Bliss seemed emotional, wiping a tear away from her eye.
However, the star quickly changed her tune and began laying into the crowd and her competitors, staying true to her then-heel persona.
