WWE is gearing up for the road to WrestleMania 41, with the Royal Rumble just around the corner, a time renowned for major returns and surprises. Among the highly anticipated comebacks was that of Alexa Bliss, with fans excited to see The Goddess back in action after more than two years. However, recent reports suggest that WWE and Bliss are currently at odds, leading to a delay in her return plans.
According to PWInsider, the 33-year-old was slated to make her return on last week’s Raw in San Jose. However, plans were derailed at the last minute when Bliss’ representatives pushed WWE to open discussions about a new contract. The report revealed that The Goddess is seeking a deal with higher pay and additional perks, while WWE intended to bring her back under the terms of her existing contract.
Moreover, with no progress in contract negotiations, WWE and the former Women’s Champion remain at an impasse. Initially, the company had planned to align Bliss with The Wyatt Sicks, positioning her as the sixth member of the faction. This storyline would have reunited her with her former best friend, Nikki Cross. However, with negotiations stalled and plans falling through, WWE has decided to put the storyline on hold.
