4 signs Alexa Bliss could return on WWE RAW
WWE continues riding a wave of momentum. It feels as if ever since Vince McMahon first stepped down in 2022 that business has climbed further and further and has reached new heights never before seen.
While much of the success can be attributed to Triple H and his leadership, the bulk of it likely belongs in the hands of the incredible roster. World Wrestling Entertainment boasts a roster featuring the best wrestlers in the world and the biggest stars in all of pro wrestling.
One notable star who has been absent for over a year now is Alexa Bliss. The talented Bliss disappeared from television and it soon came out that she was pregnant. Over a year later many fans believe that she will be returning to the ring sooner rather than later.
That sooner could be especially applicable, as there is a very real chance that Alexa Bliss will return to television on Monday Night RAW. This article will look at a handful of signs that could point to her impending comeback.
Below are four signs Alexa Bliss could return on WWE RAW
#4. She noted that she's been back in the gym
Alexa Bliss missing so much ring-time makes sense. Obviously, a performer cannot compete in a WWE ring if they're pregnant. In general, it is wise to keep pregnant performers from traveling excessively and from high-stress situations such as live TV.
Beyond that, it obviously takes time after having a baby to be physically ready to return. Some people never have a comeback, either due to health concerns or because their focus has shifted. That doesn't seem to be the case with Alexa, however, as she has made it clear that she intends to return.
Not only that, but Bliss has been spotted working out. Alexa was shown to be in great shape around a month ago as she worked out in a gym. With weeks of time since then, there is little doubt that Bliss will be ready soon if she isn't already. A return on RAW just makes sense.
#3. RAW will be in Alexa Bliss' hometown
Most WWE superstars have a bond with a lot of fans from all over the world. Still, there is a special kind of bond that some performers have with fans from their hometowns. A hometown kid done well is always a big deal in any walk of life, especially in sports and entertainment.
Alexa Bliss was born in Columbus, Ohio back in 1991. She went on to attend two different universities in the state: Ohio State University and the University of Akron. Needless to say, the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion has serious roots in the state.
It just so happens that Monday Night RAW will be airing from her hometown in a few days. This is the perfect place for her to return, as the audience will both be surprised, but also excited to see their hometown hero return. The pop from the crowd alone will make it a worthwhile move and the company likely realizes that.
#2. The Women's World Championship is vacant
WWE Monday Night RAW opened with some unfortunate news last Monday. The Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley kicked off the show and came out in a sling. She then shared the upsetting news that Rhea was injured in a backstage fight with Liv Morgan.
As a result of Rhea's unfortunate injury, she had to give up the Women's World Championship. The title is now vacant and a new holder of the belt is set to be decided on Monday Night RAW Monday. WWE hasn't yet revealed how the new champion will be crowned.
Given that everything has been kept a mystery, there's a very real chance that Triple H and Adam Pearce have a surprise in store. Given that RAW will need a big name in Rhea's absence, Alexa could return and win the title. All of this would make sense and the circumstances certainly hint that a return Monday is possible.
#1. WWE has seemingly been teasing Uncle Howdy's return
Speaking of returns, Alexa Bliss isn't the only WWE superstar who is seemingly on their way back. There have been numerous bizarre teasers during Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown, and at live events that are seemingly teasing the return of Uncle Howdy.
Uncle Howdy is portrayed by Bo Dallas and was united with Bray Wyatt before the former WWE Champion tragically passed away last year. Notably, Howdy was recruiting Alexa Bliss prior to both Alexa and Bray leaving television.
Given how much Triple H and this regime appreciate continuity, there is a chance that Uncle Howdy isn't returning alone. Instead, he will possibly be joined by Alexa Bliss as the two attempt to honor the late-great Wyatt with a stable called The Wyatt 6. This feels plausible.
