Alexa Bliss Was inspired by Gymnast Legends
“I idolized Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, and the Magnificent Seven”, Alexa tells us. “They were my heroes growing up, for sure!”The ‘Magnificent Seven’ was the name given to the 1996 U.S. Olympics women’s gymnastics team. With inspirational female athletes like these to look up to, Bliss would go on to excel as an athlete in her own right.

Bliss Was a WWE fan Before She Stepped Into the Ring
The WWE performer took part in a great number of sports, but she was seriously hooked on sports entertainment from an early age.”My whole family was a big fan of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Trish Stratus,” Bliss says. “I really liked watching Rey Mysterio because of his Lucha Underground (Mexican wrestling) background, which reminds me of gymnastics, so I naturally gravitated towards him.”Those are some mighty big shoes to fill but we think Bliss has the heart of a lion and with her incredible desire to succeed is a future champion in WWE.

Those who see Bliss tying her opponents in knots on WWE TV can be forgiven for not knowing about her musical side. This girl can belt out tunes!Her family is very musically oriented. Bliss’s grandpa was a country singer and his group even had a Top 40 Hit. “Everyone in our family can sing,” Bliss says. “I love to sing country music and I have performed on local shows. I like to add rhinestones to everything [when I’m onstage]!”Bliss has it all. Athleticism, beauty, and even musicality. Is there no end to this girl’s talents?
