She might be one of the most successful female Superstars in recent memory, but Alexa Bliss has been to hell and back in her journey to the top of WWE.

In her younger years, Bliss struggled greatly with anorexia and body image issues; Issues that almost ended up taking her life. But she has never shied away from discussing her past and uses her current platform to help educate others and encourage people not to follow the same thought processes that led her down a dark path.

Alexa, real name Lexi Kaufman, explained how a visit from her friend helped her see things from a different perspective:

“She said Lex, if you think you’re fat, what do you think I look like?”

The words would prove to be instrumental in shaping Bliss’ future.

Bliss would go on to compete in major female bodybuilding tournaments before following her true passion for professional wrestling.

Today, and several world title wins later, Bliss is still riding high in her WWE career and her current partnership with Nikki Cross has made for some of the most entertaining WWE viewing over the past few months.
