As Brock Lesnar gets ready to return to the Octagon, his fellow fighter Ronda Rousey has taken the baton as WWE’s biggest mainstream star.

To keep interest in Rousey, WWE needs to match her with high profile women. That was why her first match in the company was against Stephanie McMahon; no other woman on the roster has a bigger profile than the Chief Brand Officer.

When it comes to promoting WWE’s ‘Women’s Evolution’, Ronda Rousey is front and center in the campaign. After Ronda, you've got Charlotte (who will likely wrestle Rousey at WrestleMania 35) and Nia Jax (whom Ronda has beaten on house shows).

Alexa Bliss is far more marketable than any other full-time woman on the roster. Her most obvious asset is her looks; no one can deny that Bliss is stunning. Her diminutive height may seem like a negative, but it sets her apart from all the other women on the roster.

Her success on the main roster - holding the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships for as long as she has - is another huge thing in her favor.

They already have a ready-made storyline with a lot of heat, when Ronda was suspended after attacking Bliss on Raw. Bliss had taken away Ronda's opportunity at Gold, by cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase at the opportune time.

Bliss’s story to get to WWE is remarkable - she overcame an eating disorder when she was younger. That tale can serve as encouragement to millions also suffering through the same illness.

Behind the scenes, Bliss is very different from the heelish character she plays on screen. Outside of the ring, she’s shown to be likable, friendly and a little eccentric. Did you know she has a pet pig that has its own Instagram?

It’s time the rest of the world learns about ‘The Goddess’ too.
