The 2023 WWE Draft kicked off last week and WWE once again reshuffled the deck for the rosters on Raw and SmackDown. Some big names were moved in the draft, but some notable names such as Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss were excluded from the draft pool even though they’re still signed to WWE.
Rhea Ripley won the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania, but she was officially drafted to Raw. Ripley also managed to successfully defend the championship against Zelina Vega at Backlash on Saturday night which means she is in need of a new challenger.
The USA Network recently posted a graphic asking who Rhea Ripley’s next challenger should be and it features the women from the Monday Night Raw roster. It’s interesting to note that the graphic also features Alexa Bliss which could be a sign that Bliss will be part of the Raw roster moving forward.
So many good opponents for @RheaRipley_WWE! Knowing Mami, she'd probably fight them all! #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/zdWOUt0Gq1

Alexa Bliss last appeared on WWE programming when she challenged Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship at the Royal Rumble premium live event back in January, but she failed to win the gold.
It seemed that WWE was building toward a revival of Alexa’s storyline with Bray Wyatt as she was taunted by Uncle Howdy after the match. However, it looks like plans were put on hold as Bray Wyatt has been sidelined due to an illness and there’s currently no word on when Bray or Alexa will be back on TV. Stay tuned for updates.
