One of the most memorable moments at this year\u2019s Royal Rumble was Alexa Bliss making a surprising return to WWE after two years away. The former Women\u2019s Champion received an incredible reaction from the crowd, but very few knew just how secretive the entire plan was to keep her comeback a surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the Nikki and Brie Show podcast, Bliss revealed how last-minute everything was. She did not find out she would be part of the event until only a few hours before it started. The phone call came around midnight the night before and the final confirmation arrived at around 4 a.m. She was told to catch a flight by 10 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To avoid being seen, WWE flew her into a different city. Instead of arriving where the event took place, she landed in Cincinnati. From there she was taken by car in complete secrecy. She entered the venue through a back door and was taken directly to a private room for hair and makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The surprise was so well kept that even her husband did not know about it. Early that morning, Bliss quietly grabbed her gear from a closet near her sleeping daughter and whispered to her husband that she was going to the Royal Rumble. He was too sleepy to understand, and she left alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexa arrived at the arena only at 4 p.m., two hours before the show started. She was exhausted, had not eaten or slept properly, and hurried to get ready. None of the other wrestlers knew she was there until she appeared at Gorilla position just moments before making her entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This story shows the dedication and effort behind the scenes that went into creating a genuine surprise for WWE fans. Alexa Bliss\u2019 return was more than a pop moment; it demonstrated the commitment of wrestlers and the company to making memorable moments. The Goddess delivered once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
