7 Wrestlers who have fought serious health issues.

Roman Reigns recently returned from a battle with Leukemia, but he's not the only wrestler to face serious health matters.

#7: Alexa Bliss

The medical condition she has struggled with: Anorexia--a form of body dysmorphia where the victim believes themselves to be grossly overweight despite evidence to the contrary. Anorexics may hide food and pretend to have eaten it, or avoid eating altogether, and often become paranoid when their friends and family try to convince them that they are ill.

Alexa Bliss is one of the more successful call ups from NXT, having been both Smackdown and Raw Women's Champion. She has also displayed a propensity to manage multiple roles on WWE programming, and has acted as general manager and other non-wrestling niches.

Alexa Bliss was a fitness competitor and model before joining the WWE, but she nearly lost her life to anorexia. Like many young people, she developed the condition in her teens after being bombarded by the myriad images of perfectly sculpted bodies in mass media.

Fortunately, she has been able to manage her condition and gone on to great success.
