Alexa Bliss Returns

Alexa Bliss has been one of WWE's most versatile performers since her main roster debut in 2016. In those ten years, she has reinvented herself multiple times — starting as the cocky heel SmackDown Women's Champion, transitioning to Raw, becoming a supernatural ally of Bray Wyatt (the "Fiend" era produced some of the most cinematic WWE television of the decade), and later returning as a beloved babyface "goddess" persona.

Her absence gave the women's division time to establish new stars — Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill (before AEW), and the ongoing reign of Rhea Ripley. But Bliss's return adds a proven star with championship experience and a fanbase that never forgot her. The crowd reactions at her segments during her active years were routinely among the loudest of any women's performer.

The question in 2026 is which version of Alexa Bliss returns. Does she come back as the confident heel who built her career on talking down to opponents? Or does she embrace the supernatural elements from the Wyatt era — now with Wyatt gone, those character threads become more poignant. Or does she simply step back in as a babyface, letting her natural charisma and in-ring ability do the talking?

Any version of Alexa Bliss in 2026 is a win for the women's division. She provides an opponent for Tiffany Stratton that fans will care about, a potential feud with Rhea Ripley that writes itself, and a connection to WWE's recent past that adds weight to every segment she appears in.
