10 Awkward WWE Auditions
4. Alexa Bliss Is "Baby Swag"
Meet "Baby Swag".
That's what Alexa Bliss called herself when she committed a trial promo to tape and fired it off to WWE headquarters in 2013. The then-Diva wannabe told fans (via an episode of the Network/Peacock show WWE 365) that the whole thing was just "really bad". How bad? "Really bad".
Bliss had paid some dude $100 to film her in a bikini too. That's what WWE's audition criteria stipulated she must wear, and it's why Alexa (wearing the most forced smile of all the times) could be seen strutting around what looks like a cafeteria in her beachwear. Things only got worse from there.
"Baby Swag" described herself as "bubbly, flirty and always trying to be the centre of attention". Then, she said she could "turn feisty just like that" before clicking her fingers; Bliss basically used every adjective that John Laurinaitis was looking for in "smart and sexy" Divas.
The video ended with Bliss taking a poor bump onto some gym mats. She can laugh at the tape now, at least.
