Fightful Select has provided details on Alexa Bliss’ surprise return to WWE at Saturday’s Royal Rumble at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Fightful notes that as of Saturday morning, other participants in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match were said to have been unaware Bliss was going to be part of the match. It was also said that Bliss was not at the match rehearsals which took place the night before, as Shotzi was supposed to have entered in Bliss’ spot. Shotzi recently returned to WWE after being out of action due to a torn ACL back on the February 13, 2024 episode of NXT.
Furthermore it was noted that even though many in WWE were said to have been excited for Bliss returning after such a long absence, others within the company felt bad on how things turned out with Shotzi not being in the women’s rumble match.
The report concluded by saying that there is not any ill will toward Bliss for replacing Shotzi.
