the reigning WWE Women's Champion.
James began her professional wrestling career in 1999 as a
valet on the independent circuit, where she was known under
the name Alexis Laree. She trained in several camps to
improve her wrestling abilities before working for Total

storyline with Trish Stratus, in which James' gimmick was
that of Stratus' biggest fan turned obsessed stalker, an
angle which lasted almost a year. She received a push, and
she won her first WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania
22, a title she has held a total of four times.
Outside of wrestling, James has received her associate of
arts degree in business administration and is studying for
her Bachelor of Arts degree in operations management. She
also grew up on a farm and has an interest in horses, owning
three Morgan horses and riding since she was 11 years old. |
