For those wondering what Alexa Bliss will be doing at WrestleMania 38 next month, it appears that the answer is very little.

In a report from the ever-reliable Mike Johnson over at PWInsider, the current plan is for Little Miss Bliss' next rivalry to not commence until after this year's Showcase of the Immortals. As such, that would suggest Bliss won't be in action at 'Mania 38 at things stand.

After four months away from screens, Alexa made her return on the 10 January episode of Raw in a therapy session segment. Since then, Bliss has been featured in similar segments, only wrestling once - in the titular women's bout at last month's Elimination Chamber premium live event.

Elsewhere, it looks like those hoping for Bayley to return in time for WrestleMania 38 are going to be left disappointed. This same report states that the current plan is for the Role Model to be brought back to WWE TV after the Granddaddy of Them All.

After suffering a torn ACL in July 2021, Bayley is believed to be ready - or at least extremely close to ready - to make her in-ring return, but it appears WWE is planning to hold off on said return until after 'Mania is out of the way.
