Disappointing news for Alexa Bliss and more WWE Superstars

A study has revealed some disappointing news for WWE stars. The spotlight that comes with being a pro wrestler can sometimes lead to them facing harsh criticism and even abuse online. We have seen many wrestlers deal with such unsavory incidents on social media over the years.

A detailed study by CryptoManiaks has revealed the names of the athletes who receive the most online abuse. The article covers leagues from the NFL to the NBA while also having a dedicated section for pro wrestling.

The study, which analyzed data collected from April 30, 2024, to April 30, 2025, revealed that pro wrestlers received the most abuse online among the other featured sports.

The list ranked Charlotte Flair as the wrestler who received the most online abuse, with a 36.4% negativity rating. This rating was the highest of any athlete in the study across the board.

Worryingly, the female wrestlers were more targeted than the men. In fact, the top five wrestlers receiving the most online abuse were all women.

Flair was followed by Nia Jax (35.3%), AEW's Mercedes Mone (29.6%), Saraya(29.3%), and Tegan Nox (28.6%) in the top five. The list also featured names like CM Punk (6th), Chris Jericho (7th), and Jon Moxley (11th). Former RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss was also on the list at the 12th spot with a negativity rating of 20.4%

Alexa Bliss had to deal with online abuse and harassment in the past

Alexa Bliss has been on the receiving end of some vile abuse and threats online. Back in 2021, The Goddess had to deal with a fan who was harassing her and her then-fiancé, Ryan Cabrera, on X/Twitter.

A year later, Bliss talked about how online abuse from people was heartbreaking.

"I agree that everyone should have the right to speak their opinion. But when you talk about us as human beings, people, and not our characters, that’s where the line stops and I don’t feel like that’s OK," she told Metro.co.uk

Like Alexa Bliss, many other stars, particularly females, have faced abuse and harassment online, which is simply uncalled for.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
