10 Things We Learned From WWE 365: Alexa Bliss

10. WWE Admit Her NXT Run Was "Underwhelming"

One of the first lines in 365 is a half-hearted apology from WWE for Alexa's trials and tribulations on the NXT roster. Known more for blowing glitter all over the place and working as a valet than she was for actually wrestling, 'Little Miss Bliss' had an "underwhelming" time on the popular third brand.

That immediate hit of honesty kicks things off nicely and never stops hitting.

Looking at it in retrospect, Bliss is a mega-rare example of a talent who's been booked better on the main roster than she was at Full Sail. Usually, it's the other way round, but Alexa has had the chance to win titles, create history and work her butt off in-ring on Raw and SmackDown. She rarely got to shine in NXT.

Bliss echoes narrator Maria Menounos' sentiments that she wasn't an important female figure on the show before being promoted to the main roster. That word, "underwhelming" is a hard reminder that Alexa didn't enjoy much before that.
