Alexa Bliss has not been in the ring since WWE Hell In A Cell 2019, where she and Nikki Cross lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to the Kabuki Warriors. She’d seemingly suffered a mild injury that’s been keeping her out of action since then, about a month and a half on the shelf. Reports surfaced that she’d been dealing with a shoulder injury of some sort. But it seems she’s all healed up now.
On tonight’s edition of WWE SmackDown, Alexa Bliss made her return.
Nikki Cross defeated Sonya Deville in singles action, only to be jumped by her and Mandy Rose afterwards. But as both members of Fire & Desire assaulted her, Alexa Bliss ran down to make the save and run each of them off. You can see my recap of this segment below:
Fire & Desire out as Nikki Cross makes her way out. Mandy mocks Nikki for looking like a cold plate of leftovers.
Nikki Cross vs. Sonya Deville
Nikki charges right into a right hand. Sliding knee to the chest. Grinding her down with a chinlock. Cross escapes, gets her to the corner, charging strike, bulldog out of the corner. Nikki goes up top, Mandy distracts, Deville rips Cross to the mat. But an inside cradle gets the win.
Winner: Nikki Cross
That was fast, and definitely the start of something. As I typed that, Fire and Desire jumped her from behind and laid her out. Alexa Bliss’ music hits though and out she comes, first appearance in a while, to run through Deville and Rose! Dropkick takes out Deville, wicked slap to Rose – Bliss and Cross with a double team DDT. The faces hug!
Obviously a tag match between Bliss & Cross and Fire & Desire is in order. And I imagine after winning that one, the former tag champs will be challenging the Kabuki Warriors to try and regain their titles.
