5 superstars who had a modeling career before WWE

#1 Alexa Bliss was a model before joining WWE

Former WWE RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss was a model before joining WWE. Bliss appeared in fitness competitions, which helped her overcome an eating disorder at the age of 15-years.

Alexa Bliss spoke with the New York Post about her experience with bodybuilding and modeling before WWE:

"My parents put me back in touch with my trainers Mike [Davies] and Natalie [Calland]. They told me I was going to compete [in body building]. I was like 80 pounds and they were like, ‘You are going to be on stage in six weeks. You can either be skinny and embarrass yourself or look healthy and do well, but regardless you are getting on stage in six weeks.’ 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." Alexa Bliss said.

Despite having no prior experience, Bliss signed with the WWE in May 2013 and trained at the Performance Center. She is now one of WWE's most prized assets and a famous superstar with the WWE Universe.
