#2. Alexa Bliss was a fitness model before joining WWE

Alexa Bliss has proven herself to be one of the hardest workers in WWE today. She came to the main roster without winning any titles on WWE NXT. After working hard and making her character work, Bliss has won seven title reigns in WWE.

The Goddess is playing a great character on RAW at the moment. Before becoming a wrestler, Bliss performed as a cheerleader and bodybuilder. She was successful at bodybuilding and fitness modeling early in her career.

Bliss chose to go healthy after some health problems landed her in the hospital. She never looked back, working hard on herself and her health to become a bodybuilder and fitness model before trying out for WWE.

Speaking to the New York Post, Bliss said of her bodybuilding and modeling career:

“That was kind of the kick in the butt. Their diets got me comfortable eating food again. It was a very, very long process because this was like a four or five-year battle. I was training nearly every day and taking posing classes. It was gruelling, but I went on to become one of the youngest people to get a pro card [at age 20].”

The former RAW Women’s Champion has proven that hard work and determination really do pay off.
