After reports that Alexa Bliss would was not expected to be at Saturday’s WWE Royal Rumble, Bliss made her return to WWE to a huge ovation from the sold-out Lucas Oil Stadium.
Bliss entered at Number 21 in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match and was eliminated by Raquel Rodriquez and Liv Morgan.
This is her first appearance in WWE since she was unsuccessful in capturing the then Raw Women’s Championship from then champion Bianca Belair at the 2023 Royal Rumble.
Bliss was expected to make her surprise return to WWE back on the January 13 episode of Raw. However, it is being said that Bliss’ representatives wanted to negotiate a new contract “with enhanced perks” vs. her continuing under the extension of her existing deal of which she had made reference to during an interview back in May 2023.
