Top WWE Star Subtly Confirms Major Gimmick Change at Royal Rumble – and You Missed It
Alexa Bliss made a surprise appearance in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match, entering with her classic theme music and carrying a new version of Lilly.

Alexa Bliss returned to WWE during the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match, despite reports suggesting she would not participate in the event. Bliss entered the match to her original Goddess entrance theme while carrying what appeared to be a new version of her Lilly doll.
The appearance marks Bliss’s first WWE appearance since taking time away to welcome her daughter. Prior to her hiatus, Bliss underwent a character transformation following Charlotte Flair’s destruction of the original Lilly doll.
Bliss’s connection to supernatural elements traces back to her association with Bray Wyatt, which began after his WWE departure. During Wyatt’s 2022 return, Uncle Howdy showed interest in Bliss’s character, though their potential storyline remained unexplored due to her absence and Wyatt’s subsequent passing.
The return indicates a potential shift for Bliss, who recently hinted at character developments through social media posts. Her brand assignment remains undetermined following this appearance.
