After two years of absence—one spent losing to Bianca Belair, the other spent creating a human—Alexa Bliss made her grand return at the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble as entrant #21. Decked out in full nostalgia mode, Bliss sported a jacket reading “Fiend Forever” and carried her demonic, totally-not-haunted doll, Lily. You remember Lily—the one WWE literally shredded on live television like an expired tax document? Yeah, that Lily.
Unfortunately for Bliss, her Rumble stay was shorter than a Twitter beef. She barely had time to spook the audience before Naomi, another returning star, unceremoniously yeeted her over the top rope. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair—because of course—went on to win the whole thing.
Bliss’ return wasn’t exactly unpredicted. Reports leaked earlier in the day that she had been spotted backstage, shocking everyone except dirt sheet readers. WWE and Bliss had reportedly been locked in contract limbo, with negotiations moving slower than a Brock Lesnar promo. Whether her return means a new deal was struck or if she just showed up to troll us all remains unclear.
One thing is certain: Alexa Bliss is back… but for how long? Stay tuned for more updates, or just wait until WWE inevitably drops another “cryptic” QR code.
