Fans will have to wait longer to see the return of a star who hasn’t been seen on WWE television in over two years.
PWInsider.com reports that plans for the return of Alexa Bliss are off the table as WWE creative was told to put all of her plans on hold indefinitely. Per the report, there were initial plans for Bliss to return several weeks ago on Raw in San Jose. They were told a storyline involving The Wyatt Sicks had been pitched as part of that return.
However, before the event, creative was told to drop all plans for Bliss. The faction was moved to SmackDown, but has yet to appear on SmackDown. The future creative plans for them going forward will now be “independent of anything related to Bliss.”
The creative plans were not the issue for plans being nixed, and Bliss was ready to return, but for now, WWE has halted her return. A source believes it may be a contract issue, although that’s not confirmed. She is under an older deal before she took time off to have her first child.
Bliss is not featured in any creative pitches for the Women’s Royal Rumble match, so for now, it’s not a situation where WWE is holding off on her return for a surprise appearance in the bout.
For months, Bliss was expected back by the start of WrestleMania season. She was last seen at the 2023 Royal Rumble.
