"I wasn’t a big fan" - Alexa Bliss says she never used to like her WWE ring name
Multi-time women's champion Alexa Bliss recently revealed that she didn't like her current ring name at first, but it grew on her.
The Goddess is one of the most accomplished female stars in the entire industry. She's recognized as the second-ever Women's Triple Crown Champion as she held the RAW, SmackDown, and WWE Women's Tag Team Titles in her career. Before finding success on the main roster, she competed in NXT, where she portrayed a glittery fairy gimmick.
Speaking to News18 in an interview, Alexa Bliss stated that her coach was the one who suggested the moniker. However, they were expecting it to be changed when she got called up to the main roster.
"At first, I did not like it [my ring name], but my coach at the time in NXT said he liked it. When I got the list of names that were legally cleared, there were a bunch of names and my coach came up with Alexa Bliss. He also said that I could change and they would probably change it if I made it to the main roster, but it has actually become a nice little pun. But it has really grown on me and it looks really cool on a tee shirt."

Alexa Bliss says she wants another title run in WWE
The last time Little Miss Bliss held a world title was four years ago, in 2018, when she was the RAW Women's Champion. After WWE Clash at the Castle, she wants to get back into the title picture.
"Asuka and I are going to work on becoming the women’s tag team champions. It has been almost four years since I held an individual title and I think it has been four years too long," said Bliss.
"I've been that person, so I know how to face that person."
