As bad as the Moment of Bliss segment was, it did yield one good nugget: Alexa Bliss announced she will compete in the Royal Rumble on Sunday.

If that holds, it will be her first match in more than three months. This is good news for WWE, as its women’s division could use a five-time former champion and one of its better antagonists. The company has worked to keep Bliss on TV during her downtime, but there’s only so much they can do without her being able to take a bump or work a match.

But now, Little Miss Bliss will be back, adding some depth and freshening things up a little by adding a natural heel to the fold.
