Alexa Bliss made her surprise WWE return at last month's Royal Rumble but has since only appeared in a handful of matches. She was last seen inside the Women's Elimination Chamber and made headlines this week after being pulled from "WWE World."
The fan event takes place over WrestleMania weekend; those attending can meet their favourite Superstars (for a price) and Bliss no longer being one of the possibilities led to speculation she might be injured.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer addressed Bliss' WWE status by explaining, "The belief is that Bliss is off TV and will return when they start the Wyatt Sicks back on SmackDown."
It's been a while since we've seen that group, though rumour has it that was a result of Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy) being injured. The faction also includes Joe Gacy, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan, and they were last seen taking a loss to The Final Testament and The Miz on SmackDown last December.
For what it's worth, The Wyatt Sicks does appear to be teasing their return being imminent...
"I knew I had to do this for my brother and for myself," Dallas previously said of the group. "But at that point, I was still working through things. And I still am. I didn’t know how I was going to handle it that night. I had been wrestling for almost 15 years at that point, and I’d done a lot, but I didn’t know if I could handle the moment—going out live and feeling everything."
"The night before that shot, I’m standing in the hallway, the lights start coming on, and you hear that one note—Dun. I didn’t know how I was going to react. And I swear to you, I felt like my brother was with me," he continued. "I went from thinking, 'Can I do this?' to feeling more confident, more powerful, and more sure than I’ve ever felt in my life. I knew I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing."
"Then, to walk out and see the arena filled, with the lights and the fireflies - it’s been more than cathartic. It’s helped me in so many ways," the former NXT Champion added.
Stay tuned for updates as we have them.
