The RAW Women’s champion successfully defended her title against Mickie James at TLC, and then continued to build heel heat the following night on RAW by demanding respect from the crowd. However, Little Miss Bliss is about to reveal a different side to herself as she joins the cast of Total Divas.
Before the premier episode of Season 7, E! News interviewed the RAW superstar to get her views on joining Total Divas and what she wants to bring to the table.
Some may not be aware that Alexa Bliss had to fight against anorexia while she was a teenager; she now hopes to be a role model for others who struggle with similar eating disorders.
“I’m really big on body positivity, so I’m hoping to get that across with this platform […] When I was dealing with my eating disorder, I didn’t really have anyone to look up to that was going through that or had gone through it. I just want to be the person that I wish I had when I was struggling through it because I know body image is an issue with both girls and guys and eating disorders are a big part of that.”
Bliss further explains that she hopes to give light to those who find themselves in the dark, showing others that it is possible to take back control and continue life after an eating disorder.
“[Eating disorders] can happen to anybody, but it doesn’t need to define you […] You can be successful afterward and it doesn’t need to consume your whole life. Of course, every time you talk about something that’s sensitive to you, it is hard, but each time it gets easier and easier.”
While the RAW Champion may come across as confident in the ring, Alexa reached out to Nikki Bella for advice and to discuss her nerves around joining Total Divas.
“She was like just have fun with it and make it real […] She told me the most important part is to not let it overwhelm you. Just have fun with it. She’s been one of those people that I really look up to career-wise because she’s just so awesome and so helpful.”
