Alexa Bliss has remained absent from WWE television since her unsuccessful challenge for the RAW Women’s Title against Bianca Belair at Royal Rumble 2023. Following her maternity leave and the birth of her first child in November 2023, Bliss has yet to make her in-ring return.

The extended absence sparked fan concerns, with creative planning emerging as a significant factor. Bliss previously indicated the timing of her return was not her decision, suggesting it lay with WWE management.

During her time away, Bliss revealed her recovery journey from pregnancy complications, including preeclampsia and postpartum health issues. Additionally, she underwent treatment for skin cancer removal.

Recent updates indicate Bliss has regained full health and maintains her fitness routine while awaiting WWE’s call. Various teases and speculation have surrounded her potential return to television.

You’re right – recovering from skin cancer removal, pregnancy, preeclampsia, and postpartum health complications back to back to back really does comes across as “doesn’t care” 😂
