Creative has two options here: Alexa Bliss returns as her own woman and helps bolster the ranks on Raw or SmackDown's female divisions, or she goes back down the rabbit hole of Bray Wyatt-inspired madness. Most folks would likely vote for the former, not least 'cause her alliance with Bray proved rather unpopular years ago.

'Little Miss Bliss' is currently out recovering from skin cancer treatment. First and foremost, it's a real relief that she's alright and on the mend. Second, her eventual comeback will play before a sizeable reaction on TV. People will be very happy to see Alexa again, especially after recent real-life scares.

WWE just has to pick the right moment.

Despite her inclusion here, Bliss doesn't need to rush back. Choosing whether she lands on Raw or SmackDown (or both as a, wait for it, "free agent") is only part of the problem; finding a storyline and feud that has legs is the other.
