In case you didn’t know…
Alexa Bliss has performed for the WWE since 2013 and is considered to be one of the promotion’s biggest stars today.
In her young WWE career, Bliss has captured the SmackDown, as well as RAW Women’s Championships respectively and currently, holds the latter title.
The heart of the matter
Alexa Bliss asserted that while winning her first title in WWE still ranks at the top of her list of accomplishments thus far, capturing her first Women’s Money In The Bank contract is most definitely at No. 2 on her list.
Additionally, Bliss explained that two victories on the same night were a first for her, which in turn serves to make her performance at the 2018 Money In The Bank PPV all the more sweet.
Bliss reiterated the fact that winning the contract and then cashing it in on Nia Jax to capture the RAW Women’s Championship shall definitely rank as one of her best milestones in WWE thus far.
Furthermore, Bliss also spoke about acrophobia and how challenging the Money In The Bank ladder match is—
“I was so nervous too, because I wasn't sure that I would have been able to reach the briefcase—That was my biggest concern."
“I'm not afraid of heights, but if I was I wouldn't be able to do it. It is so high up there. The thing is, you have the ladder, which is twelve to fourteen feet when you are standing on it.”
“Plus, when you look down there are three feet from the bottom of the ring up to the ground. So you are that much higher." (*H/T Sportskeeda for the transcription)
