Another report that came out in the days leading up to the Royal Rumble was that despite being moved to "WWE SmackDown," The Wyatt Sicks had not been featured on TV since the move, with rumors swirling about Bliss being included in their creative plans halting their return to TV. However, that was proven to not be the case as one of the group members is currently dealing with an injury, but that hasn't stopped the speculation of Bliss and The Wyatt Sicks working together as Bliss was not featured on the February 3 episode of "WWE Raw." Whether she will be featured on the February 7 episode of "SmackDown" is still up for discussion.
What Bliss would be doing upon returning was reportedly the stumbling block in getting her to re-sign. Meltzer noted that her creative direction wasn't strong enough to warrant the five-year deal WWE wanted her to sign, to the point where everything they had planned for her was scrapped just a few weeks ago. This did originally contradict the sighting of a new Bliss t-shirt available to buy that indicated things were going well, but Meltzer claims this was put out before the impasse regarding creative.
WWE were reportedly prepared for any bumps in the road as Shotzi was originally set to be in the Rumble match if Bliss didn't re-sign, even going as far as to do a full rehearsal with Shotzi during the day, something that a few people in WWE were sad about as it was meant to be Shotzi's own return to the main roster after missing most of 2024 due to a knee injury.
