In one of the biggest, or perhaps the biggest, surprise of
the Royal Rumble last night was the return of Alexa Bliss.
Bliss, who earlier in the week posted a message on social
media saying that she would be at home “for a while,” was
said to be in contract negotiations with WWE after it was
reported that she wanted a new deal rather than continue
working on an extension of her current one.
The former Raw and Smackdown Women’s champion entered the
Rumble at #21, two years after having her last match against
Bianca Belair at the 2023 Royal Rumble.
Bliss wore a jacket with Fiend 4 Ever written on the back as
a tribute to Bray Wyatt and was accompanied by her doll
Lilly. She high-fived fans coming down the aisle and
received one of the biggest pops of the night from the
Indianapolis crowd.
“I thought she wasn’t coming back. The Internet said she
wasn’t coming back,” screamed Michael Cole on commentary.
“We all thought she wasn’t coming back,” added McAfee.
Unfortunately for her, she was eliminated by Liv Morgan and
Raquel Rodriguez and the crowd did not appreciate that at
all.
Welcome back, Alexa!
