Alexa Bliss didn’t just return to WWE SmackDown – she made sure everyone felt it. Teaming up with Zelina Vega for a solid win over Chelsea Green and Piper Niven, Bliss wasted no time reminding fans why she’s one of WWE’s most compelling characters. But the real spark came backstage. A quiet, unexpected moment with Charlotte Flair – just two words: “Let’s chat.” That’s all it took to blow the doors open for what could come next. With Backlash right around the corner, Bliss is suddenly back in the mix, and the possibilities are wide open.
#5. Reigning Chaos with Charlotte Flair
There’s something oddly fascinating about the idea of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair joining forces. Flair hasn’t exactly been embraced by the fans lately, and Bliss? She’s never needed their approval. Both women operate in that unpredictable gray area – not quite villain, not quite hero – and together, they could wreak havoc on SmackDown.

Whether it’s targeting titles or simply bulldozing through whoever’s in their path, a Bliss-Flair alliance would command attention. It’s a pairing with serious chemistry, and Backlash could be the night it becomes official.
#4. Back in the Shadows – A Wyatt Sicks Tease?
The use of Sister Abigail on SmackDown didn’t feel accidental. Longtime fans remember Bliss’s ties to Bray Wyatt’s dark world, and with whispers swirling about Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy) returning, it wouldn’t be a shock to see Bliss step back into that eerie, supernatural space.
She’s proven before that she can pull off spooky better than most, and with The Wyatt Sicks concept still floating in creative limbo, Bliss could very well become the anchor it needs. If WWE wants to go that route, Backlash is the perfect setting for the lights to drop and the chills to return.
#3. Tag Title Chase with Zelina Vega
Some teams just click, and Bliss and Vega clearly have that spark. Their win on SmackDown wasn’t just thrown together; it looked like a test run for something bigger. With the women’s tag division needing some new energy, this duo could be the fresh face the scene needs.

Bliss’s mind games paired with Vega’s speed and flair—that’s a combination with serious upside. Don’t be surprised if they confront the champs at Backlash and make their gold-hunting intentions loud and clear.
#2. Stirring Trouble in a Title Match
Alexa Bliss doesn’t have to be booked in a match at Backlash to make headlines. In fact, showing up unannounced during one of the Women’s Title bouts could be even more impactful. Maybe she costs Becky Lynch her title. Maybe she blindsides Lyra Valkyria or plants seeds against Vega. No matter the scenario, Bliss is the perfect chaos agent – someone who can instantly start a feud with a single action. WWE knows how valuable a wild card can be at a premium live event, and Bliss fits that role to a tee.
#1. Feuding with a Future Star
WWE is always looking for that next breakout star, and Bliss might be the ideal test for one of them. Whether it’s Tiffany Stratton or Roxanne Perez, a program with Bliss would offer instant credibility and a major spotlight. The Five Feet of Fury doesn’t need a title to stay relevant – she just needs a story. Taking a rising star under her wing, or under her boot, could create compelling TV, and it would let her lean into that manipulative edge fans love and fear. Backlash could mark the beginning of a feud that elevates both women in different ways.
Bliss’s return wasn’t loud or flashy – but it didn’t need to be. It was calculated. It was smart. And it left us all wondering what her next move is. Whether she’s teaming up, tearing things down, or tapping back into something darker, one thing’s clear: Alexa Bliss is back, and she’s going to make things very uncomfortable for anyone standing in her way. Backlash is just the beginning.
