WWE Rumors: Speculation On Alexa Bliss’ In-Ring Return

The latest speculation on when Alexa Bliss could return to action!

It’s been a number of months now since we last saw WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss competing in the ring, suffering multiple concussions in a short time frame back in October which has kept her sidelined.

We’ve heard how WWE won’t be rushing ‘Little Miss Bliss’ back into action (read that story here), taking every precaution with the multi-time Women’s Champion now that everyone’s well aware of how serious concussions are in this day and age. There had been some miscommunication regarding Alexa’s status recently due to some comments made by Mark Henry (find that here), yet it’s looked like the company is sticking to its guns as Bliss has still not competed and has even been off of television of late (check out spoilers for this coming Monday’s RAW).

Today, there’s more talk regarding Bliss’ in-ring return as Bryan Alvarez discussed her next television appearance on Wrestling Observer Radio, also noting that as recently as a couple of weeks back he had heard Alexa would be back in the squared circle at Royal Rumble. Of course, nothing has been confirmed at this time.

EA’s Take: I’m not sure how true this is, but it has been a long time since she’s been out and a return at Royal Rumble would make a lot of sense. If this is in fact the plan, personally I’d like to see her as a surprise entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match. I’m willing to bet that she will be in it either way since she didn’t get to take part last year, but if it was up to me, I’d keep that quiet. However, I don’t think WWE would do that and likely will want to promote her return. Who knows, maybe even set-up a WrestleMania match against Trish Stratus?

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
