Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day.
• Alexa Bliss has been absent from WWE TV since Royal Rumble 2023, where she lost to Bianca Belair. Initially, she was expected to return and align with Bray Wyatt and Uncle Howdy, but Wyatt’s tragic passing and Bliss’s pregnancy delayed her comeback.
Bliss, now a mother, has expressed her desire to return to the ring and has been training at the Performance Center in Orlando. She recently posted a video of herself executing her Twisted Bliss finisher, signaling her progress.
Additionally, she shared a teaser photo on X featuring her signature blonde hair with pink highlights, further hinting at her imminent return to WWE.
The following GIF on X is her latest return tease:

• The AEW All In 2024 PPV will take place this Sunday, and excitement is building, particularly around the main event. Bryan Danielson, who has been dealing with neck injuries and may soon need surgery, will challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship.
This highly anticipated match has fans speculating about the outcome, especially since Danielson has put his career on the line. According to the Wrestling Observer, Danielson was initially planned to win the match:
“When I was originally told the scenario, and this was months and months ago, it was Danielson winning then.”
Matt Hardy also thinks Bryan should win here:
“Swerve had a hell of a run. Swerve had a really nice run as champion, but it is time for The American Dragon. It is time for Bryan Danielson to win the AEW World Title. It’s really fitting.”
