The Fan-Favorite Superstar Captures Gold While Teasing a Return to Her Dark Side
Alexa Bliss, the beloved and highly decorated WWE superstar, is back in the ring and at the center of one of the company’s most intriguing new storylines. After a two-year hiatus, which included a last-minute return at the Royal Rumble in early 2025, Bliss has not only reclaimed her spot as a top contender but has also recently captured gold. The multi-time champion is making headlines with a new tag team partner and comments that hint at a dark, supernatural turn for her character.
An Unlikely Championship Victory at SummerSlam
In a major shock at SummerSlam 2025, Alexa Bliss and her unlikely partner, Charlotte Flair, defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez to become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. The pairing, which started with visible friction and miscommunication, proved to be a powerful force. Their victory has established them as a dominant team and has given Bliss her first championship since returning to the ring. The new champions have already had a successful title defense, securing their place as a force to be reckoned with in the women’s division.
Teasing a Return to the “Dark Side”
While her partnership with Flair appears to be successful on the surface, Bliss has hinted at a more sinister motive behind their alliance. In a recent interview, she was asked about a return to the supernatural character she portrayed while aligned with the late Bray Wyatt. Bliss stated she is “a hundred percent” open to the idea, but it was her next comment that sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe. She ominously suggested that her new partner, Charlotte Flair, could become “the next Lilly”—a direct reference to the demonic doll that was a central part of her previous persona and was brutally destroyed by Flair in 2021. This adds a new and deeply personal layer to their current partnership, as Bliss may be looking to corrupt Flair and draw her into her darkness.
Balancing Motherhood and a WWE Career
Since giving birth to her daughter, Hendrix, in late 2023, Bliss has been open about the challenges and joys of returning to the physically demanding world of professional wrestling. She has shared that it took a long time to feel comfortable in her body again after having her baby. However, she has credited her daughter as her new “driving force” and has even said that her daughter has developed a special attachment to the “real” Lilly doll. Bliss also recently spoke about how thrilled she is to see the legacy of her close friend, Bray Wyatt, live on, particularly with the announcement of a Wyatt Sicks house for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal.
