Today we’ll be going over the big confirmation of Alexa Bliss WWE return, Brock Lesnar and
Heyman’s reunion, and how a WWE legend feels like Big-E was disrespected
Lets start things off with the big confirmation of Alexa Bliss’ WWE return
Before the main event of the night started, WWE aired a recap video of the events that
happened to Alexa Bliss on the night of Extreme Rules 2021
They refreshed the audience’s memory on what happened that night for Alexa Bliss and
closed it off by announcing that Alexa Bliss’ journey back to Raw starts next week
So what does actually mean because it seems very vague
Alexa’s ‘journey to Raw’ starts next week…does that mean we will actually physically
see Alexa Bliss next week or will next week just be the start of the teasers for her return?
The way they’re saying that her journey back to Raw starts next week makes it sound
like next week won’t be her actual return, but maybe we got some sort of vignette or
other teaser to start building the return story
Maybe it’s a series of vignettes that’s going to explain what happened to Alexa Bliss
following the events of Extreme Rules, where’s the character’s mental state at, what transformations
has she gone through over the last few months, all that could be what they start to tease
us with
Similar to Aleister Black and how he had all those vignettes explaining his new origin
story before he returned
Maybe Alexa’s journey could be similar to that and hopefully it is like that
Everyone loves shock returns, announcing someone’s return a week in advance still builds hype
and ratings, but there’s something about that unexpected shock return that’s always
gonna feel more special
So hopefully Alexa doesn’t just return next week with no explanation or story at all
Hopefully they do take the vignette route because Alexa Bliss is an extremely character-driven
superstar, she deserves some great storytelling and explanation, especially before a big potential
character change like this one that she’s about to go through
So it’ll be really nice if we see Alexa Bliss in these vignettes talking about what
that night did to her and where’s she’s at right now
Maybe they’ll keep that vignette series running for several weeks and once they get
us back up to date with what’s been happening to Alexa Bliss then maybe that’s when we’ll
get her actual physical return
Planning her return out like that and allowing us to see the transformation or character
change through a series of vignettes sounds amazing
But they haven’t told us much besides that, so maybe Alexa does return next week or maybe
it is the beginning of the explanation of her new story
Alexa was quick to start teasing her return herself after the announcement was made official
by WWE
So let’s go over her teasers and all the possible directions to take Alexa in because
there’s a lot of possible routes to go in here
Alexa took to Instagram to post an old 2019 picture of herself with Nikki Cross on Smackdown,
no caption to the photo, just a black heart emoji
It’s interesting because Nikki is still on the same brand as Alexa Bliss and Nikki
is currently having a bit of a fallout with her tag partner Rhea Ripley
So does Alexa Bliss have her eyes on Nikki and wants to reunite with her again, possibly
even get Nikki to turn to this evil side?
That’s definitely a possibility as well, maybe Alexa wants to make things right with
Nikki after the way they left things off
Remember that Nikki felt responsible for everything that happened to Alexa Bliss because Nikki
had left her alone the night that the fiend attacked her
So there’s still some connections and links there between the two of them
Alexa then posted another old picture of herself during her ‘goddess’ era, again with the
black heart emoji
A lot of fans really want Alexa to revisit that era of her character so that post generated
a lot of hype as well
Alexa then posted a picture with Lilly and then posted the Journey back to Raw graphic
She then tweeted “Next week you say” with a gif that said “must dash.
much to avenge, revenge, and destroy”
And that pretty does it for all the teasers from Alexa herself
So telling by the gif and some of the other things she’s been teasing recently, it looks
like the theme of this return and new arc for her could be revenge
Which has fans thinking, who does Alexa really have to take revenge on from Raw?
No one has really done anything wrong to her from this 2022 Raw roster per say
Obviously, the person that Alexa would have the most issues with should be Charlotte Flair
Charlotte destroyed Lilly, Charlotte pinned Alexa in her hometown, and Charlotte was the
basically the reason why the character disappeared for all these months
So when it comes to revenge, the only one that fits that story for Alexa Bliss is Charlotte
herself
But Charlotte’s on Smackdown, how does Alexa get to her?
Well fans have suggested that if Alexa Bliss wins the Royal Rumble, that basically gives
her the right to challenge any champion she wants, so chances are that she’ll go with
Charlotte to take that revenge on her
Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair would meet at Wrestlemania with alexa finally taking
the title and knocking Charlotte off
Alexa hasn’t had a Wrestlemania match since 2020 and she hasn’t held a singles title
in almost 4 years, so it’s an overdue moment for her, no doubt about that
So we’ll see what they decide to do with her, hopefully they do turn it into a mini
series and explain her story because they’ll be a lot of fun to discuss and speculate about
—————-
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman reunited this week on Raw to open up the show
It was a great moment and a great surprise, but it sort of feels like something was missing
at the same time
Last we saw of Paul Heyman, he was seriously contemplating retirement and said that if
he can’t work for Roman, his career is over
we go from hearing that on Christmas Eve to Paul Heyman suddenly appearing with Brock
Lesnar on Raw.
So maybe it would’ve been even better if we got to see the explanation on why they
decided to go public again with their working relationship
But then again, maybe that moment was planned for Day 1, they just couldn’t do it because
Roman wasn’t there, so they just decided to skip over that part for Heyman’s story
But either way, we’re finally getting the dream match of Brock Lesnar versus Bobby Lashley
So that story is gonna be amazing and even the other little moments such as Heyman and
MVP going back and forth with each other in the coming weeks will be just as great as
well

WWE legends and even fans feel like Big-E was a little disrespected during his final
night as WWE champion at Day 1
In all combat sports and even in wrestling, the defending champion always gets the honor
of coming out last, it’s basically tradition
Well that tradition was no where to be found at Day 1
Brock Lesnar, who was a last second addition to the match, had the honor of coming out
last, while Big-E, the champion, came out before him
So to see the reigning defending not come out last was a weird feeling
Especially if you knew he was gonna drop the title that night, it feels like the least
they could’ve done for him was give him the honor of coming out last
Another crazy thing about Big-E’s title loss was that he was pinned for the title
himself
In fatal five way match, out of all the people to pin for the title, Big-E was pinned for
the title himself
So Big-E can’t even use the narrative of “you didn’t even pin me for the title”
because Brock Lesnar most definitely did
Other fans have also brought up Big-E’s Win / loss record as WWE champion and it’s
a record that’s mostly full of losses, so that’s another thing that fans pointed out,
and they hope that Big-E would one day have another world title reign that will be even
better than this one was
