According to Fightful Select, Alexa Bliss remains in contract negotiations with WWE, impacting Creative’s plans for her return. While plans were previously prepared for Bliss, her participation in Royal Rumble remains uncertain due to ongoing contract discussions.
WWE had initially planned for Bliss to return earlier this month alongside Wyatt Sicks. The report notes that Creative has not proposed new storylines for Bliss while negotiations continue.
Several established performers including Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Asuka are expected to participate in the Royal Rumble match. Bliss could potentially miss the premium live event if contract discussions are not finalized. Her return to SmackDown and reunion with Uncle Howdy depends on the resolution of these negotiations.
