Alexa Bliss is one of the most popular Superstars in WWE today. However, while she was in NXT, she worked more as a manager than as a wrestler. It all changed when she moved to the main roster where she has gone on to become one of the top women on the company.

However, Bliss revealed in an interview that she came close to being let go during her time in NXT and that a heel turn probably saved her job:

“From day one I knew it was my sink or swim moment because in NXT as a good guy my character wasn’t getting over and when I was told about the pairing with Blake & Murphy I knew there had to be a character change. Wednesday night we had TakeOver and I pushed Enzo and helped keep them as champions, I came the next day with new gear and different hair and I knew that if I didn’t run with it, I probably wasn’t going to have a job.”
