It's rare that WWE's in-house YouTube content throws up anything beyond typical kayfabe fare. In a recent edition of 'Then & Now' though, Alexa Bliss gave some cool insight into her early days on NXT, and it provided two little tidbits for this week's article. Here's the first.

She was "glitter banned" after a few weeks.

Confused? Not sure if "glitter banned" is some new-fangled phrase the kids are using? Relax, dear reader, and know that it's exactly what it sounds like. Bliss was banned from blowing glitter out into the crowd from the ring during her entrance, or from covering herself in it backstage. To this day, Alexa blames Tyler Breeze for that.

He was p*ssed that he had to follow Bliss' match and ended up covered in the stuff. When agents complained that Tyler looked oddly shiny, he pointed the finger of blame at Alexa and the ban hammer was brought down on her glittery ways.
