Ranking All 15 WWE Debuts & Returns From 2025

4. Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss did the unthinkable in 2025: She returned after a two-year hiatus (during which she became a first-time mother) and helped turn Charlotte Flair into a bona fide babyface for the first time in eons. For that alone, Bliss probably deserves some kind of award.

All hyperbole aside, Bliss returned at the 2025 Royal Rumble and slowly reintegrated herself into the fabric of the women’s roster. After coming up short in the Queen of the Ring tournament, Bliss formed an unlikely tag team with Charlotte Flair, with Alexa being the driving force in getting the duo together.

Insisting for months that they weren’t friends and that this was an alliance of convenience, the tandem captured the Women’s Tag Team Championship in August and immediately set out to prove they were the best, successfully defending them five times in three months. They finally lost the titles to the Kabuki Warriors in November, but they remained in the mix and now consider themselves best friends.

Bliss closes out 2025 as a fixture in the women’s tag division, which has emerged as one of WWE’s strengths this year. While it was mentioned (mostly) as a joke, Bliss managing to get fans to earnestly cheer for Charlotte after years of failed efforts deserves praise. Alexa also is well-positioned to return to singles action (she is 5-2 this year as of this writing) and perhaps compete for the Women’s United States Championship or the WWE Women’s Championship.
