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..."

Did you know that Braun Strowman was once a Rosebud? Or that Tommaso Ciampa was one of Muhammad Hassan's lawyers? Or that AEW's Shawn Spears was one random backstage occupant "Stan", prior to being Superkicked by a wound-up Shawn Michaels? It's been fun seeing modern stars in unusual roles earlier in their careers, especially if that role is completely unlike the character they play in the latter-day.
For Bliss, many fans are aware that she was one of Triple H's three masked beauties during his WrestleMania 30 entrance, but did you know about her ring announcing stint? On the November 20, 2013 episode of NXT, an all-too-happy Bliss (with a smile more cheerful than sinister) made an on-camera appearance introducing Aiden English, prior to his loss to Adrian Neville. The entire episode feels like a funhouse mirror version of the WWE we know today, with a brown-clad Alexander Rusev running around, JBL as the GM, Kassius Ohno appearing in a match that aired 12 days after his 2013 release from the company, and many other oddities. But the strangest part has to be a quite happy-to-be-there Alexa playing a borderline-anonymous ring announcer.
