Alexa Bliss isnt just backshes here to stay. After making her shocking return as the 21st entrant in the 2025 Womens Royal Rumble, Bliss has signed a brand-new five-year deal with WWE, ensuring shell be a major part of the companys future.
WWE and Bliss finalized the contract on Saturday morning, just hours before the Royal Rumble. According to Fightful Select, the deal was negotiated through Paragon Talents Mojo and Steve Kaye, with WWE flying Bliss into Indianapolis the same day to keep everything top secret. Even the talent involved in the match didnt know she was coming back until she showed up at the arena.
WWE had been looking to bring Bliss back for months, and they were already preparing for her return behind the scenes. Merchandise for the former champion had been in production weeks before the Rumble, a sign that plans were in motion long before her return became public knowledge.
Bliss had previously been under contract, but her deal was extended due to absences, including maternity leave. While WWE originally wanted her to fulfill the remainder of her existing contractsince they had been paying her throughout her time awayBliss and her reps pushed for a new deal, and they got it. Even if no agreement had been reached, WWE still had time left on her old deal, meaning her return was inevitable one way or another.
Her return did come with a bit of controversy, as Shotzi was originally slotted for Bliss spot in the Royal Rumble before WWE made a last-minute switch. While theres no bad blood, some within the company felt bad that Shotzis long-awaited return was scrapped in favor of Bliss.
Now that shes officially back on the Raw roster, all eyes are on whats next for Bliss. With Rhea Ripley still running the division as Womens World Champion, many believe Bliss could be gunning for The Eradicator. Others have pointed out that Liv Morgan eliminated Bliss from the Rumble, which could lead to a feud between the two if WWE decides to go in that direction.
Whatever happens next, one thing is clearAlexa Bliss is back in WWE and locked in for the long haul. What do you think WWE should do with Bliss moving forward? Should she go after Rhea Ripley, settle things with Liv Morgan, or carve out an entirely new path? Drop your thoughts below!
