Standing at only 5'1 and weighing barely over 100lbs, Alexa Bliss isn't known for being a brute act in the WWE. Her style of wrestling is extremely finesse, but there's a darkness in her eyes that adds to her chacater's demeanor. While in the ring, Alexa Bliss born, Alexis Kaufman, has one of the most entertaining personalities which just so happens to mirror some of her signature moves like the Blissful Stomp, Glitter Blizzard, and Insult To Injury, all of which are delicately perfomed. However her finishers, the Bliss DDT and the Twisted Bliss are a lot more violent.
At 15, Kaufman suffered from a life-threatening eating disorder but later discovered fitness competitions to cohearse her away from the disorder which in-turn got her into pro-wrestling. In September 2013, Bliss signed a developemental contract with the WWE where she honed her skills before making her mainstage debut in July 2016. Since then, Alexis Bliss has become a 3x Raw Women's Champion, 2x Smackdown Women's Champion, and 1x WWE Women's Tag Team Champion. Bliss is the first wrestler to hold the Smackdown Women's Champion twice, the first woman to win both the Raw and Smackdown Women's titles, and the second Women's Triple Crown Champion in WWE history.
When we think of inventors, the image that comes to mind is usually that of a frazzled scientist toiling away in a lab, not celebrities pulled from the pages of Us Weekly. However, a number of well-known public figures hold patents for various innovations. Some are related to the work that made them famous, while others are offshoots of hobbies or just a single great idea.
Part of guitar wizard Eddie Van Halen's signature sound was his two-handed tapping technique, but letting all ten fingers fly while simultaneously holding up the guitar's neck could get a bit tricky. Van Halen came up with a novel way to get around this problem, though; he invented a support (top) that could flip out of the back of his axe's body to raise and stabilize the fretboard so he could tap out searing songs like "Eruption." While Van Halen was obviously interested in improving his guitar work, the patent application he filed in 1985 notes that the device would work with any stringed instrument.

It’s probably not surprising that James Cameron—who designed a submersible to take him to the deepest known part of the ocean—will often invent technology to make his films if what he needs doesn’t exist. He holds a number of patents, including US Patent No. 4996938, “apparatus for propelling a user in an underwater environment,” that he and his brother, Michael, created to film The Abyss and patented in 1989. The device is basically an underwater dolly equipped with propellers that makes it easy for a camera operator to maneuver in the water—and allowed Cameron to capture the shots he wanted for the 1989 film, part of which was filmed in an abandoned nuclear reactor.
In 1987 Jamie Lee Curtis designed and patented a disposable diaper that included a waterproof pocket that held baby wipes. She hasn't profited from her idea yet, though, since she refuses to license the patent until diaper companies make biodegradable products.
You know him as a rock legend, but Neil Young also loves trains—so much that he owns a stake in a model train manufacturing company and has an extensive collection. He also holds seven patents related to model trains, including Patent No. US5441223, "Model train controller using electromagnetic field between track and ground."
