Unfortunately for Kevin Owens, he will not compete at WWE WrestleMania 41 against Randy Orton. The Prizefighter announced on SmackDown this week that he will have to undergo neck surgery, which will keep him away from the ring for some time. Meanwhile, apart from Owens, there is one more superstar who might not be there at The Show of Shows.

Alexa Bliss hasn't made any appearance since losing the Women's Elimination Chamber Match on March 1. After making a stunning return at the Royal Rumble this year, Little Miss Bliss was expected to engage in a major storyline with a top superstar, but her absence from subsequent shows has been surprising.

Bliss's absence from WrestleMania 41 might have been subtly confirmed on SmackDown this week. WWE announced a gauntlet match for the number one contender for the Women's Tag Team Championship. The contest has superstars from both main roster brands like Katana Chance & Kayden Carter, Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria & Bayley, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark, B-Fab & Michin, Alba Fyre & Piper Niven, and Natalya & Maxxine Dupri.

With Alexa Bliss as part of SmackDown, her missing from this possible title match to take on Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez is worth noting. Alexa Bliss was expected to feud with Liv Morgan following their two key encounters at the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber, but that never seemed to come to fruition.

Alexa Bliss' rumored feud with Liv Morgan has seemingly been scrapped

WWE has supposedly scrapped the rumored feud between Alexa with Liv Morgan. Lil Miss Bliss was eliminated from the Royal Rumble and then at the Elimination Chamber by Morgan. This raised speculations of a possible long-term feud heading to WrestleMania 41. However, the Five Feet of Fury was nowhere to be seen after the Elimination Chamber. And The Judgment Day staying on RAW even after rumors of their move to SmackDown for a feud with The Wyatt Sicks also didn't happen.

It became even more evident when Lil Miss Bliss was moved to SmackDown. However, once again, her absence after the Elimination Chamber put to rest all the speculations of her reunion with Nikki Cross before WrestleMania 41.


Waiting for the creative team's response

Alexa Bliss was rumored to have signed a five-year contract with the company, but according to reports, the WWE creative team hasn't chalked out any plans for her yet. There are rumors that Alexa has some disagreements with the company, and this is the reason no creative plans have been put in place for her.

Be that as it may, Alexa Bliss is one of the biggest female superstars of this generation, and Triple H won't let go of the opportunity of getting Alexa to compete in some historic matches while he's in charge of the ship. Maybe, the former WWE Women's Champion will make a return at WrestleMania 41 along with The Wyatt Sicks? Only time will tell.
