Alexa Bliss has been notably absent from WWE programming since January 2023, when she faced Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship at the Royal Rumble. At the time, Bliss was fully immersed in her darker persona, a character shift she embraced after attacking her former tag team partner, Nikki Cross. Since then, Cross has aligned herself with The Wyatt Sicks, a faction that has recently been targeting Karrion Kross and his wife, Scarlett.
Last week, Scarlett became the victim of a brutal attack from Nikki Cross, which led to an intriguing backstage exchange on this week’s episode of WWE Raw. As Kross fumed with anger over the assault, Scarlett tried to calm him down. During the segment, she made a cryptic reference to her past relationship with Cross, stating:
“Once upon a time, her best friend was corrupted by who… So why is she standing next to him? The devils you know versus the devils you don’t. Think about it.”
Scarlett’s words hinted at a deeper storyline connection between the two women, particularly in reference to Alexa Bliss, who once shared a close bond with Cross. Scarlett also showed a surprising level of respect for Cross’s actions, saying,
“What Nikki did to me last week was evil, it was malicious, it was poisonous, and frankly, I would’ve done the same thing, and I respect her.”
Scarlett went on to suggest that Bo Dallas (rumored to be involved with The Wyatt Sicks) would eventually turn on Cross, and she encouraged Kross to redirect his frustration, reminding him that The Wyatt Sicks’ obsession was not with him personally but with the destruction he caused to their faction in the past.
While Alexa Bliss has not been teased for a return just yet, the mention of her absence and the ongoing references to her dark persona have sparked speculation. Bliss herself has been active on social media, sharing playful posts about her absence, hinting that her return may not be entirely in her control at this moment. Fans are eagerly awaiting any signs that Bliss might return to the storyline involving The Wyatt Sicks, as her previous alignment with Cross still looms large in the current drama.
Will Alexa Bliss return to confront Nikki Cross and The Wyatt Sicks? Only time will tell, but the storyline continues to build intrigue as the dark legacy of The Wyatt Sicks unfolds.
