Not the woman that you want to mess with
Not the woman that you want to mess with

This name is probably the easiest one to guess in this entire list. WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss’ gimmick was infamously inspired by one of the most popular Supervillains of all time – Harley Quinn. This DC comicverse legend redefined the representation of women as the villain as her popularity forced her creators to involve her deeply in the Batman plots.

Now, if you are someone who romanticizes the current portrayal of Harley Quinn in DCEU, then you need to read the comics featuring her and Joker. It will give you a better idea about just how evil she can be and what led her to sink into the madness. But that’s a topic for another discussion. Alexa Bliss is probably the only WWE Superstar who could carry the accurate portrayal of Harley Quinn in wrestling, And WWE was quick in recognizing that opportunity.

We all know that Bliss is excellent as a heel, and every single time when she is on the villainous side of the story, you can see a glimpse of the infamous DC Supervillain. From her costumes to hair to makeup, WWE has never shied away from making her look exactly like this member Suicide Squad.
