Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt are two of the most prominent superstars in the WWE. It looks like the status of Bray Wyatt’s return will become clear after Alexa Bliss returns from her hiatus. Bliss has been absent from WWE programming since the Royal Rumble, whereas Wyatt has been out of action since March. There were plans for both wrestlers to be together initially.

WWE had plans to pair Alexa Bliss with The Eater of Worlds before they went on hiatus. The two had a compelling storyline in 2020 before WWE released Wyatt. The 35-year-old, however, returned to WWE last year with a mysterious person named “Uncle Howdy.” Howdy interrupted Bliss’s matches on numerous occasions. Unfortunately, the storyline could not go any further.

Since returning to WWE in October, Bray Wyatt has not done much. He only wrestled a match with LA Knight after months of build-up and character work. The storyline included the introduction of Uncle Howdy, who haunted LA Knight for weeks before their match at the Royal Rumble.

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Alexa Bliss’ return will decide Bray Wyatt’s WWE status. “If Bliss comes back with no hints toward Wyatt then I’d say they’ve given up on Wyatt coming back any time soon,” Meltzer said. WWE did not include Bliss and Wyatt in the recent Draft pool either.

Alexa Bliss last wrestled Bianca Belair at the Royal Rumble in January. On the other hand, Bray Wyatt was scheduled to face Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 39. The match did take place due to Wyatt having some health issues. Fans are waiting to see the former WWE Champions return to television.

Bray Wyatt was feuding with Braun Strowman in July 2020. Alexa Bliss was first introduced in the storyline when she was revealed as Sister Abigail. Her shared history with Strowman was shown as the reason why Wyatt controlled her mind and made her do it. The former Raw Women’s Champion started acting out in segments over the next few weeks.

She finally turned on her tag team partner, Nikki Cross. By the end of the year, Alexa Bliss had cleared her intentions and joined the leader of the Wyatt Family. When Wyatt feuded with Randy Orton, Bliss played an important role in the rivalry. The storyline fascinated the WWE Universe.

When Wyatt battled The Viper at WrestleMania 37, Alexa stood for The Fiend and kept clashing with Randy Orton on multiple occasions. Bray Wyatt lost his match at WrestleMania and was nowhere to be seen until he was released later in the year. However, the former WWE Champion returned in October of last year to a thunderous reaction.
