One of the most puzzling aspects of WWE programming currently is the long-standing delay in Alexa Bliss’s return. Little Miss Bliss shared a well-documented past with the late Bray Wyatt family which made her an ideal fit for the Wyatt 6. The array of clues, QR codes, pictures, and links suggested that Sister Abigail would return holding the Nightbird in her hand on June 17th, the monumental Wyatt 6 debut night. But the reality turned out different. The former women’s champion was nowhere to be seen alongside Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, and Joe Gacy.

We are two months down since the spooky faction took over the division, but Bliss still hasn’t come and introduced herself as the 6th and final member of the faction. While fans almost reached the saturation point of their patience, a new Uncle Howdy hairstyle psyched them up with a renewed hope of the Goddess’ return.

Uncle Howdy’s hair holds a crucial Alexa Bliss return clue

Alexa Bliss has been on a never-ending hiatus since she conceived her first child. The pregnancy and post-pregnancy physical barriers kept her away from the ring for over a year now. But the former WWE Women’s champion is seemingly gaining back her mojo now. The clips and photos of her shaping up her body to grind under the ring went viral, making fans believe she was on her way to making a blockbuster return. But the clock is ticking and any elevating updates or developments about her return are yet to reach us.

When Uncle Howdy ambushed Chad Gable with his signature Sister Abigail for the second time in a session on Raw last week, the entire fanfare expected a picture-perfect entry of Bliss to the saga, but they only felt frustration instead. But the hope never dies. So they find another one to hold on to.

Uncle Howdy recently underwent a massive look change on the previous edition of Monday Night Raw. From donning a triple leather belt with more strings attached and a slightly different waistcoat, Bo Dallas got a new hairstyle as well. If you take a close look, it has a close resemblance to Alexa Bliss’ quirky hair.

But why would WWE delay the return that millions of fans are looking up to? 

Reasons for WWE holding up Alexa Bliss’ return for so long: Explained

Alexa Bliss will be an important card to Triple H, and hence he needs to play it wisely. The former women’s champion’s revival in the storyline needs special care and a special build. So a PLE platform will be ideal in that case. For the same reason, people deemed SummerSlam as the most suitable time for her return, but it didn’t materialize. Presumably the company wanted to reserve all the spotlight for Roman Reigns alone. The Bash in Berlin, PLE held in Germany could be the next perfect destination to bring her back to the lore. So, Triple H is seemingly waiting for the turn. Another possible reason for the delay in her homecoming is WWE’s confusion about whether to let her join the Wyatt 6 or tip her to a new angle as she ended up on a bitter note with the late Bray Wyatt family.

It will be interesting to see how and when Alexa Bliss slides into the WWE saga again after a long time off. What’s your take on Bliss’ latest return clue in Uncle Howdy’s new look on Raw? Let us know in the comments.
