WWE superstar Alexa Bliss is gearing up for the upcoming Women’s Royal Rumble match, scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The 34-year-old star recently confirmed her entry into this high-profile event, aiming to capture the impressive victory that has so far eluded her.
Bliss made a memorable return to WWE at last year’s Royal Rumble, receiving a warm reception from the crowd when her theme music played. Despite her strong comeback, she was eliminated by Liv Morgan after spending 11 minutes in the ring. Since then, Bliss has teamed up with 13-time Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, with whom she has enjoyed success as a tag team, including winning the Women’s Tag Team Championships.
In a recent episode of WWE Playback on the company’s YouTube channel, Bliss and Flair reflected on Charlotte’s previous Royal Rumble victory. While sharing light-hearted moments, Alexa expressed regret that she never had the opportunity to celebrate with the iconic WrestleMania sign gesture. Charlotte promised to support Bliss in achieving the win this year.
“You’ve never won the Rumble? I’m gonna help you win this year,” Charlotte claimed.
Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair Compete on SmackDown
Earlier this week on SmackDown, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair joined forces in a tag team Triple Threat match to determine the next challengers for the Women’s Tag Team Championships. Competing against Women’s United States Champion Giulia and her partner Kiana James, as well as Lash Legend and Nia Jax, all teams battled fiercely with several nearfalls.
In the end, Giulia and James emerged victorious after Lash Legend struck Bliss during a mid-air maneuver with a Lash Extension. Charlotte Flair responded by taking down Legend with a Spear, but Kiana James capitalized on the moment to pin Alexa Bliss and secure the win.
This result sets up a future title defense where current champions Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY will face the challengers Giulia and Kiana James, promising an exciting confrontation ahead.
Implications for Alexa Bliss’s Royal Rumble Journey
Alexa Bliss’s participation in the upcoming Royal Rumble carries significant weight in her career trajectory, especially with Charlotte Flair’s backing to help her finally claim a victory in this demanding contest.
