Bray Wyatt was at the 2025 Royal Rumble in spirit as one star paid tribute to the late former WWE Champion.

Alexa Bliss had not been seen on WWE television since falling to defeat against Bianca Belair at Royal Rumble 2023. The former Raw Women’s Champion revealed a skin cancer diagnosis two months later before giving birth to her first child in November 2023. During her absence, her on-screen partner Bray Wyatt tragically passed away at the age of just 36.

Bliss has not been seen in WWE since then and many questions have been raised about her future in the company. Alexa Bliss has teased a return to the ring ahead of the Royal Rumble but reports suggested she still had to work out a deal with WWE.

Alexa Bliss Pays Tribute To Bray Wyatt

However, a deal clearly has been made as Alexa Bliss made her shock return as part of the 2025 women’s Royal Rumble. Bliss carried her doll Lily to the ring and it seems her jacket paid a tribute to Bray Wyatt as well. It was missed on the Netflix stream but a photo of the back of her jacket has done the round on social media and it can be seen that it read “Fiend 4 Ever” in tribute to Bray Wyatt’s Fiend alter ego.

Alexa Bliss might have earned the loudest reaction of the night but it was another returning star that walked away victorious. Charlotte Flair won the Royal Rumble and will have her pick of champions come WrestleMania 41.
