A bonafide star in an era not outstanding at creating them, Alexa Bliss may not always be booked at the top of the card (or even all that well), but the fact that she can be supplanted there with virtually no prior build speaks to her stock with the audience.

It's been this way since she burst onto the main roster in 2016 - she performed with such confidence that her work expedited her promotion through the ranks. With that platform, Bliss has done good beyond the business, speaking on a topic close to her own experiences before wrestling was even a blip on her radar.

She's made public her battles with an eating disorder, and the mental health issues that come with it. To have gained so much success in an aesthetics-driven industry while remaining across those issues is particularly remarkable, as is her choice to lend her voice to those that may be suffering with those same struggles.
