Alisha Edwards (née Inacio; born January 7, 1987) is an American professional wrestler, better known by her ring name Alexxis Nevaeh, currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under the ring name Alisha Edwards. She previously used the ring names Lexxus and Alexxus in New England Championship Wrestling, Chaotic Wrestling, and World Women's Wrestling. She also worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling using the name Mercedes Steele.
Lexxus debuted in May 2006, at a joint New England Championship Wrestling (NECW) and World Women's Wrestling (WWW) show on May 7, defeating Mia Love. Over the next few weeks, she lost to Tanya Lee, but defeated Della Morte. This win however, would prove to be her last in 2006, as she lost to Tanya Lee, Kacee Carlisle by disqualification, Portia Perez, and Alicia. On January 27, 2007, at NECW's SnowBrawl show, she challenged Tanya Lee for the World Women's Wrestling Championship, but was unsuccessful. She broke her losing streak at the NECW/WWW show, Pick you Poison, on February 25, when she defeated Portia Perez. At the NECW/WWW 1st Anniversary Spectacular show on March 25, Lexxus defeated Mistress Belmont, who was accompanied by Della Morte. After the match, Morte attakced Lexxus, and attempted to burn her with a curling iron, but Ariel saved her.
Lexxus then began challenging for the World Women's Wrestling Championship, defeating the championship Tanya Lee on two separate occasions in non-title matches. When she gained an opportunity to win the championship at the Double Intensity event, however, she was unsuccessful. On August 12, Lexxus competed in two matches at a NECW/WWW show. In the first, she lost to Tanya Lee by disqualification in a singles match. In the second, however, she won the championship in a four-way match, defeating Tanya Lee, Natalia and Jana on August 12, 2007. She successfully defended the championship against Tanya Lee, Ariel, Mistress Belmont and Sammi Lane. She lost the championship to Ariel on March 9, 2009, after holding it for a year and a half. She regained the title from Ariel after defeating 10 top WWW stars first to get the title shot. She lost it to Mistress Belmont, who lost it to Alexxis on August 8, 2010 in a steel cage match.
