5 current WWE Superstars who were almost fired

#3. Alexa Bliss was nearly fired from WWE before she made it big

Alexa Bliss has broken several barriers in WWE. She has an inspirational story that led to her transformation into a successful superstar after facing her demons.

Like many other superstars on this list, Bliss was also nearly cut from WWE during her time in NXT. During her time on the brand, Bliss was used as a valet for Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake.

The Goddess appeared on the Not Sam Wrestling Podcast in 2017 to discuss a few topics. She revealed she was almost fired before making a drastic change:

"From day one I knew it was my sink or swim moment because in NXT as a good guy my character wasn’t getting over and when I was told about the pairing with Blake & Murphy I knew there had to be a character change. Wednesday night we had TakeOver and I pushed Enzo and helped keep them as champions, I came the next day with new gear and different hair and I knew that if I didn’t run with it, I probably wasn’t going to have a job."

The change worked for Little Miss Bliss, who transformed into a headlining star. Bliss has worked on several exciting characters since moving to the main roster. It'll be interesting to see where her work takes her next.
