10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss
"Alexa told a story about girls from her high school that would make her life hell, and actually banded together to beat her up. Bliss' response was to take one of her textbooks and smash one of those girls in the face the following day..."

Bliss' WWE hiring is also an interesting story unto itself. She apparently attended a tryout in Los Angeles, and found herself in a room filled with other women that were much taller and more statuesque than little five-foot Alexa was. At that point, Alexa figured she had no shot, even texting her mother to tell her as much. Where Alexa felt she succeeded the most was in talking, in particular at the verbal part of the audition. She told Triple H and the others in the room about her passion for wrestling, her memories of storylines and characters and such. She, like the others, was told after that session they would get a call if they got a 30-day tryout.
According to Alexa, about two weeks later, she received a call telling her that she wasn't getting a 30-day tryout - she was being hired outright. She was told she would be receiving a medical and then moving to Florida several months after the fact. Bliss isn't sure why she was picked to bypass that next part of the tryout, but posits that it may have had something to do with her nonstop talking.
