#5 She almost died because of a disorder

Alexa Bliss grew up in Columbus but moved to Tampa later on

In the past, Bliss has only opened up about her childhood on a few occasions. And when she has, she's revealed some incredible things. During her teenage years, there was a point in time, where she struggled to monitor her body weight. Like most young girls at that age, she became self-conscious about her body

This state of mind led her to develop an eating disorder, and it had monumental effects on her health. One night, her disorder got so bad that her heart rate dropped drastically down to 28bpm, she was rushed to the hospital where a team of doctors, by her own admission, saved her life. 

#4 She's already performed at Wrestlemania

Alexa Bliss wrestled in NXT from 2013 to early 2016

For many NXT graduates, it takes almost a full year to get a sniff at appearing at Wrestlemania. Alexa Bliss has already been there and done that. At Wrestlemania 30, the female chosen ones of NXT were allowed the privilege of being a part of Triple H's stage entrance. 

She with Charlotte & Sasha Banks, dressed up in shiny golden armour to accompany the King of Kings on stage. This was a clear indication that Bliss was destined for a big future before she'd even come up to the main roster. I'm sure when she performs at Wrestlemania 33 next year, the bright lights won't phase her one bit.

#3 She's played several sports

Alexa Bliss’s favourite wrestler is Stone Cold 

Alexa Bliss is a woman of many talents; she can do it all. She's actively been a bodybuilder, but as well as that she's played softball competitively, been part of a gymnastics squad, and she's been a dedicated cheerleader. As a teenager, she was a Division 1 member of the Step One All-Stars cheerleading team, the biggest cheerleading team in her state. 

As if all that wasn't enough, she's also taken a lot of kickboxing training courses in the past too. She undertook this for fitness and self-defence purposes. But of course, this has helped legitimise her seamless transition into the wrestling business.  

#2 She can sing, really well

Alexa Bliss was born in August 1991

Yes, we already know Alexa Bliss is a great performer in the ring, but what you don't know is that outside of the squared circle, she's just as talented. Her grandfather was a well-known country style instrumentalist, and this musical background has influenced the whole Bliss family.

Without the use of singing lessons, Alexa was able to develop her voice by herself to a great standard. Alexa, who was born in the state of Ohio, which is known for its Country music, has sung at several regional concerts in her state. Perhaps one day we'll see her singing the national anthem at a Tribute to the Troops or even a Wrestlemania.

#1 She used to be a bodybuilder

Bliss was competing in bodybuilding events as recently as 2013

Her near-death experience led her to focus on putting on weight in a productive way. This is why she chose bodybuilding as a career path. She felt it would make her appreciate her own body more, plus it gave her more of a purpose to life. 

Within a year of starting, she became a professional, even competing in the prestigious 'Arnold Sports Festival' tournament.
