By Erik Beaston /

Since the launch of the WWE Network, fans have been exposed to several of WWE's brightest young stars via Thursday night program NXT. Whether it is champion Adrian Neville, former independent standout Sami Zayn, dominant Tag Team champions The Ascension or hot female up-and-comers such as Charlotte and Sasha Banks, all eyes have been on the fresh and exciting new faces primed to make an impact in, and carry for years to come, WWE. On the May 8 episode, the NXT Universe got a glimpse of a petite new blonde who has the potential to make a big splash in both NXT and on the main roster in the year to come. Adorned in blue and white and sporting a tutu, Alexa Bliss looks like a fairy of sorts. At only 5'1'', she is incredibly tiny and her cute factor is off the charts. Anyone underestimating her drive and determination between the ropes, however, will pay. In her first televised match, she was bloodied and still fought her way to victory, showing a grit and toughness that one would not readily associate her with. With resiliency to boot, Bliss is exactly the type of underdog competitor WWE cherishes. As she prepares to embark on a journey that could see her become NXT Women's champion before the end of the month, prepare yourself for the glitter-loving young lady's climb through the Women's title tournament with these eight things you should know about her.
