After months of absence, this former WWE champion has returned to SmackDown.
In the second match of the 9th May episode of SmackDown, fans witnessed Chelsea Green and Piper Niven take on Zelina Vega and her mystery partner. Shocking the crowd in Dayton, Ohio, former champion Alexa Bliss made her surprise return.
The Ohio native returned after an absence of nearly two months. Vega and Bliss defeated the team of Green and Niven, as the former women’s United States Champion took the pinfall following a Sister Abigail. The tag-match was set up earlier by SmackDown GM Nick Aldis when Green and her ‘Secret Hervice’ were holding a eulogy for her Women’s United States Championship reign.
Alexa Bliss received a staggering reaction from the Dayton crowd, a town just a short drive away from her hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Last seen during the 2025 Elimination Chamber match, Bliss’ return attracted a massive crowd reaction as fans wait to see what’s next for the former five-time World Champion.
Later in the night, a tense segment was also teased between Charlotte Flair and Bliss, suggesting a future rivalry between the two.
