Alexa Bliss won the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship in her first year on the main roster
Alexa Bliss joined NXT back in 2013 with no professional wrestling background. She worked her way up from being a ring announcer, to participating in Triple H's entrance at WrestleMania 30, to becoming a legitimate challenger for the NXT Title in 2015.
Bliss never won the NXT Women's Championship during her time in NXT despite challenging Sasha Banks and Bayley on two different occasions.
However, The Goddess' run on the main roster has been much more successful. She made her debut on July 26 and defeated Becky Lynch in her first match two weeks later. After several failed attempts to win the Smackdown Women's Championship, Little Miss Bliss would win her first ever title in WWE in December.
Bliss challenged the Smackdown Women's Champion Becky Lynch at TLC 2016 in a Tables Match. The Goddess went through a hellacious match against the Irish Lass-Kicker but came out on top. She got her first taste of gold on the main roster after less than six months from her debut, when she Powerbombed Lynch through a table at ringside.
