WWE fans have questions for superstar Alexa Bliss after the recent episode of Monday Night Raw. Bliss has been out of action for over a year. Her last match was a loss against Bianca Belair at WWE Royal Rumble on January 28, 2023. She would take time off for the company soon after, and it was revealed on November 27, 2023, that she and her husband, Ryan Cabrera, welcomed their first child.
As WWE continues to tease the re-emergence of Uncle Howdy and his new family, it has been speculated that Bliss may be involved. In the past, she was involved in a storyline with Windham Rotunda (AKA Bray Wyatt), and the company seemed to be teasing that she would be a part of a storyline with him yet again before his untimely passing last year. The new storyline of Uncle Howdy is reportedly led by Rotunda’s brother, Taylor Rotunda(AKA Bo Dallas), who will try to continue the character’s legacy.
Uncle Howdy has slowly revealed that he wants to assemble a group, with the speculation that Bliss could return as a member. The teases have ranged from cryptic messages to videos from QR codes that fans try deciphering. WWE has also been leaving easter eggs during their weekly shows to build anticipation for Howdy and his faction’s official appearance. As of now, Howdy or his alleged group have been seen on TV.
However, fans seem convinced on the May 27 episode of Raw that they spotted Bliss backstage.
Where Fans Believe Alexa Bliss Was Seen
During the show, Sheamus had a segment in the ring where he called out Ludwig Kaiser. The ‘heel’ would appear on the Titantron from backstage to reply to the ‘Celtic Warrior’ instead of coming to the ring. After being fed up with Kaiser, Sheamus went backstage to confront him.
At this point, when Sheamus makes it past ‘The Gorilla Position’ to find Kaiser, fans notice a blond female wearing black and white pants who looks like Bliss. The moment is brief, but the female is seen talking with someone as Sheamus walks past her. Although WWE hasn’t commented on who the individual was, fans seem convinced it was Bliss.
In response to fans questioning her on social media, Bliss has poured cold water on being backstage.
Bliss Downplays Monday Night Raw Appearance
Bliss has chimed in on the speculation about her possible involvement in WWE’s ongoing QR code mystery. For now, she’s claiming to be unaware of what’s going on.
In response to one fan inquiring about Bliss’ ties to Uncle Howdy and the surrounding characters, she replied with the infamous Mariah Carey “I don’t know her” meme.

Another fan replied to her comments with a grainy image of the figure who some theorize is the former Women’s champion. Bliss joked that she’s not as fit as the unknown figure.
“I mean, I wish I was in that good of shape “
Despite downplaying that the person backstage wasn’t her, fans don’t seem to buy the excuse. It’s possible that the female wasn’t Bliss. However, it’s also likely that even if it were Bliss, she wouldn’t say not to ruin her eventual return.
It seems fans will have to wait longer to get official confirmation of Bliss’ comeback to WWE. If she is a member of the Uncle Howdy faction, it doesn’t seem like fans will have to wait too much longer.
