Alexa Bliss Returns to SmackDown with Big Win

Alexa Bliss made her SmackDown in-ring return, marking her first WWE appearance since the 2025 Royal Rumble. During SmackDown’s second hour, Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton confronted each other, discussing their WrestleMania 41 match build-up. Nia Jax and Candice LeRae interrupted the segment, with Jax announcing her SmackDown Women’s Championship rematch against Stratton for next week.

Bliss emerged to join the developing situation, leading to a qualifying match for the Women’s Elimination Chamber. In her first singles competition since her return, Bliss secured victory over Candice LeRae with the Abigail DDT, a move paying tribute to Bray Wyatt.

With this victory, Bliss joins Liv Morgan and Bianca Belair as qualified participants for the March 1 Elimination Chamber match. This marks Bliss’ third career Chamber match appearance, with her previous victory coming in 2018.
