As a fan of professional wrestling, she jumped at the opportunity when WWE came calling. She was signed after impressing in a tryout camp in 2013. A year later she made her ring debut, under TheGimmick of a glitter-loving 'fairy princess'. She mostly competed in the odd match here and there before turning heel to become the manager of Blake and Murphy, who held the NXT Tag Team Championships at the time. However she has not remained a NeutralFemale — she has challenged for the NXT Women's Championship more than once, and since being drafted to ''Wrestling/WWESmackDown Live'' as part of the 2016 brand split, she has staked her claim as a challenger for the [=SmackDown=] Women's Championship, eventually winning it for the first time in December 2016.

As a fan of professional wrestling, she jumped at the opportunity when WWE came calling. She was signed after impressing in a tryout camp in 2013. A year later she made her ring debut, under TheGimmick of a glitter-loving 'fairy princess'. She mostly competed in the odd match here and there before turning heel to become the manager of Blake and Murphy, who held the NXT Tag Team Championships at the time. However she has not remained a NeutralFemale - she has challenged for the NXT Women's Championship more than once.

* {{Foil}}: To Wrestling/{{Charlotte}}, essentially. Both are gymnasts and their gimmicks invoke their blonde hair, but where Charlotte goes the AlphaBitch route, Alexa is billed as the bubbly blonde. This goes down to their physiques too - Charlotte is more tall and lean compared to Alexa, who is more athletic and bigger in build (similar to Emma).

* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Her face incarnation had elements of this. And for a while, she was the only blonde Diva in NXT to be a {{Face}}.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Mondegreen}}: In her debut she was billed from "The University of Glitz" but it was misheard as "University of ''Bliss''" and it became something of a FanNickname for her hometown.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Referred to as 'Lexi' by a lot of fans and other talent. Since it's both her real nickname and works as a nickname for her ring name, it fits.

* AmazonianBeauty: Downplayed. Though she is a former body builder and has great abs, she was presented as more cute than sexy. As a heel however this is more pronounced.

Alexis 'Lexi' Kaufman is an American fitness model, competitive cheerleader and professional wrestler. She currently performs under the name '''Alexa Bliss'''. An athlete growing up, Lexi competed in various softball, track and kickboxing leagues. She was also a gymnast and competitive cheerleader in college, reaching Division I status. She also spent time in competitive bodybuilding, first competing in the Arnold Classic in 2011.

As a fan of professional wrestling, she jumped at the opportunity when WWE came calling. She was signed after impressing in a tryout camp in 2013. A year later she made her ring debut, under TheGimmick of a glitter-loving 'fairy princess'. She mostly competed in the odd match here and there before turning heel to become the manager of Blake and Murphy, who held the NXT Tag Team Championships at the time. However she has not remained a NeutralFemale - she has challenged for the NXT Women's Championship more than once.

!!Glitter Glitz Sparkle Tropes:

* AlphaBitch: Became one after turning heel and joining Blake and Murphy.
* ArchEnemy: It was previously Sasha Banks and then Carmella after she turned heel.
* BadassAdorable: When she's in her fairy-like face gimmick.
* BareYourMidriff: As is the norm for women's wrestling.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She may be tiny, cute and sparkly (as a face, anyway), but she is ''not'' to be taken lightly. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8y8HlK17Nw one match]] against Banks, she looked visibly angry at Banks (who'd given her a nosebleed during the match) and got very aggressive.
* BishieSparkle: Her face entrance is meant to evoke this.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Came out to apparently congratulate Bayley on her victory in the Iron Man match...only to steal the title belt and mock her.
* CatchPhrase: "Bliss your heart". Doubles as a StealthInsult - it's a slight variation of 'bless your heart', which can be a compliment, but people in the American South are pretty used to hearing "bless your heart" as an insult. [[http://cottageintheoaks.com/2012/06/the-many-nuances-of-bless-your-heart/ See here for a pretty good explanation.]]
* CuteBruiser: Emphasised, as Renee Young described her face incarnation as looking like a fairy. She also dressed more modestly than the typical Diva.
* DeepSouth: She did this character on a couple of live events and a promo class, playing the redneck girlfriend of Scott Dawson.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Was appearing on NXT for as early as a year before she debuted, she appeared at live events as the girlfriend of redneck Scott Dawson and filmed a couple of promos for it, she had a stint as a ring announcer, and she's also the girl in the often-used clip of Wrestling/TylerBreeze asking a girl if she wanted to take a picture, only to clarify that he meant ''of'' him as opposed to ''with'' him. She also appeared at ''[=WrestleMania=] 30'' as part of Wrestling/TripleH's entrance, along with Charlotte and Sasha Banks.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: Part of her EvilCostumeSwitch included applying more and darker eyeshadow and eyeliner. She's already very good at making evil faces, but the makeup accentuates it.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: As a face, her hair had blue tips. As a heel, she's got red tips.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: As a face, her ring gear was adorned with sparkles and she blew a stream of glitter to the fans.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: After turning heel, she went from the fairy outfit (which had a long-sleeved blouse and shorts) to something resembling Blake and Murphy's outfit: red with white and black highlights (including the claw marking design) and a [[EvilisSexy whole lot more exposed skin]] on both the top and the bottom (halter-top and almost a bikini).
* FaceHeelTurn: At Unstoppable, when she helped Blake and Murphy.
* FinishingMove: The Sparkle Splash - a rounding moonsault.
* {{Foil}}: To Wrestling/{{Charlotte}}, essentially. Both are gymnasts and their gimmicks invoke their blonde hair, but where Charlotte goes the AlphaBitch route, Alexa is billed as the bubbly blonde. This goes down to their physiques too - Charlotte is more tall and lean compared to Alexa, who is more athletic and bigger in build (similar to Emma).
* FunWithAcronyms: The sometimes-used team name of '''B'''lake-'''A'''lexa-'''M'''urphy '''F'''actor.
* GirlySkirtTwirl: Part of her entrance as a face.
* GoodIsDumb: She had a promo just before her rematch with Wrestling/SashaBanks, where she said that she was sure to win because Sasha had lost even with the rest of the [=BFFs=] there to back her up, and the [=BFFs=] weren't around for the rematch... except that in the original match, Sasha flattened her, and the only reason Alexa won was because Charlotte and Wrestling/SummerRae started fighting at ringside and Sasha got distracted. (She lost the rematch.)
* IHaveTheHighGround: Can do a somersault off the top for the hell of it. Her FinishingMove is also done from the top rope.
* ItsPersonal: She became set on beating the crap out of Sasha Banks for all the painful losses Sasha inflicted on her in the past. She eventually did win a match by countout, but lost the title match.
* KidAppealCharacter: Her face character, in the same vein as Rey Mysterio--short, colourful and adorable. Subverted when she turned heel at Unstoppable, morphing into an AlphaBitch character who cheats to help Blake & Murphy win.
* LadyInRed: After turning heel, she switched to a red outfit and dyed the tips of her hair red.
* MinoredInAssKicking: And majored in bedazzling, apparently.
* PartsUnknown: She was initially billed as being from "The University of Bliss." Averted later on, as she's now billed from her real hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Although she is very small and athletic, she is also a former body builder.
* PurpleIsPowerful: She switched from her usual blue ring gear to a new set that's purple, but otherwise identical after returning in March 2015.
* PutOnABus: After Sasha Banks accidentally injured her nose, in November 2014. TheBusCameBack in March 2015.
* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: She didn't only drop her [[NiceGuy nice girl]] persona when she turned heel, she also left behind several square feet of clothing.
* SheFu / WaifFu: What do you expect from a former gymnast and cheerleader? The second was emphasized in her first match by Renee Young comparing her to Thumbelina.
* SkipOfInnocence: As a face.
* SlasherSmile: As a heel.
* TokenWholesome: As a face, she was presented as more cute than sexy - with her ring gear being a bit more modest. But after she turned heel, she became HotterAndSexier.
* TrueBlueFemininity: As a face, all her outfits had varying shades of blue on them, as did her hair.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: After she teamed up with Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Her somersault off the top rope doesn't really seem to serve much of a purpose - but it sure is impressive.
* WeakButSkilled: A major point of her debut match. She was essentially overpowered by Wrestling/AliciaFox, but caught her off-guard by thinking outside the box.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: While she has mostly blonde hair, the tips are dyed--blue as a face, red as a heel. It was purple initially but had turned blue by the time she debuted on TV.
