Recent reports have confirmed that Alexa Bliss’s highly anticipated return to WWE has been put on hold. Originally Bliss was scheduled for the January 13th edition of WWE RAW. Bliss’s return has now been delayed, and the reasons behind this setback have begun to emerge.
The reports have revealed that WWE had planned for Alexa Bliss to return as part of a storyline involving The Wyatt Sicks. However, ahead of the planned return, the creative team received instructions to scrap these plans.
While Bliss was reportedly ready to come back, WWE chose to scrap those plans. The situation has led to a significant delay in her return to WWE TV. This also includes her potential involvement in the Royal Rumble 2025.
The latest update reveals more details about the situation. According to the latest reports, the reason WWE scrapped the plans and put them on hold was due to issues with Alexa Bliss’s new contract situation.
New details emerge about Alexa Bliss’s WWE return & contract situation
According to PWInsider Alexa Bliss reportedly wanted a better contract for her return. However, WWE wanted her to come back under the terms of her existing deal, which had been extended during her time off. Bliss’s representatives tried negotiating a new deal, but WWE stuck with its original offer. This led to a disagreement that stopped her return plans.
Amidst this, there seems to be a shift in direction for both the Wyatt Sicks faction and Alexa Bliss. The Wyatt Sicks have been moved to SmackDown, thus distancing Bliss from the former. As they step into different brands, it is evident there has been a change in their original plans.
It now seems that Bliss would be kept separate from the faction as they are part of the blue brand. Only time will reveal how Alexa Bliss’ contract situation develops and if she and WWE can reach an agreement before the Royal Rumble 2025.
