WWE star Alexa Bliss dishes on potential program with Wyatt Sicks: 'You never know'

WWE star Alexa Bliss dishes on potential program with Wyatt Sicks: 'You never know'

Fox News2 days ago
Alexa Bliss made her stunning return to a WWE ring at the Royal Rumble back in February.
Bliss came out in gear that reminded fans of her work with the late WWE star Bray Wyatt. The jacket read "Fiend 4 Ever," and she carried the doll that was used as a prop during their famous segments a few years ago. Windham Rotunda, Wyatt's real name, died during Bliss' hiatus from pro wrestling.
The Wyatt Sicks formed in the wake of his death. The eerie faction began to haunt WWE wrestlers in 2024, and two members currently hold tag-team gold.
With Bliss' return, fans have wondered whether she could have some involvement with them.
"I always have the same answer to this because I truly believe it," she told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "Windham always said, 'Alexa and I will always be connected and when it happens and when we reconnect, it's gonna be something big.' So, whether that's with the Wyatt Sicks or something else, I don't know. Maybe we get a different side of Charlotte (Flair). I don't know. It's WWE, you never know what's going to happen.
"I think it would be something fun to explore at some point. Right now, I'm having a lot of fun tagging with Charlotte and seeing where that dynamic goes. But obviously, I'm still always going to have a piece of Bray with me with the jacket and the skirt and the character and just kinda keeping it in that same vein in case that doesn't happen. I think it would be something really cool to see, but you never know."
Bliss is set to vie for the women's tag-team championship with Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam against Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.
Bliss is a three-time tag champion already. She won gold twice with Nikki Cross and another one with Asuka.
SummerSlam is set to take place Saturday and Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

WWE SmackDown results, highlights (Aug. 1): John Cena turns back to babyface before SummerSlam

The go-home "WWE SmackDown" before SummerSlam warmed up Newark with quite a surprise. The Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena opened the night to set the table for his big rematch against Cody Rhodes. But instead of the Cena we've seen for most of 2025, he reverted to his legendary "Super Cena" self. Welcome back Anticipation of some kind of mini-swerve brewed to start the show, but it never came. Instead, the Cena heel run ended early, as the man who can't be seen cut a vintage babyface promo and hit his classic catchphrases in front of his SummerSlam challenger Rhodes. He admitted to the error of his ways, almost like a callout of the creative team for soiling this long-awaited, potentially epic run that wasn't. Cena highlighted what Rhodes did to him at their Street Fight rematch contract signing, citing it as the boot he needed to kick him back into his old ways. It was a solid reason for the Cena we've seen throughout his career, but in this instance, it felt fairly minimal, given that the Rhodes feud hadn't been reignited all too long ago. Ultimately, this was the right move, assuming it sticks and isn't a swerve that plays into the match. If it does though, that would be a pretty great way to reheat the run. This also helps overall intrigue a bit because Rhodes also gave teases for a heel turn of his own. I was keen on the double turn idea within the match, but this could be an interesting approach if it unfolds in this direction. Cena's bad guy phase has been a failure overall, which still carries several questions about whose fault that was. I'm looking at you, "Rocky." Nonetheless, Cena was always going out with the fans sending him love. It was no secret. 😑 DQ of the Night This one really deflated the Newark crowd, and rightfully so. Aleister Black and Damian Priest were on their way to the Uncrowned Gem of the Night — until Black had to get himself DQ'd by throwing a chair at Priest. Sure, props to WWE for being creative with DQs like this rather than relying on interference, but that's seriously the lowest compliment that can be given for this still ridiculously lazy booking. Let wrestlers win, man. To make matters worse, at the end, Wade Barrett on commentary tried to justify that the match was never about a win for Black. So, then why was he trying to win and pinning Priest in the match? Nice try, but no dice, partner. This felt like a title match, and I guess in WWE's eyes, that's arguably why it had to end the way it did. Matches with a great vibe and hype on weekly shows can't end cleanly. Also, Black's motivations still don't make much sense after he started this whole feud. 🎁 Consolation Prize of the Night The first match of the night saw Giulia successfully defend her U.S. title against Zelina Vega in what felt like a make-up for crushing Giulia's dream of being on SummerSlam. Don't get it twisted, this was a significantly better match than their first meeting, but it did much more for Vega than Giulia. The former champion was suddenly booked as some super-strong top-tier wrestler, despite the way she lost their first match. Vega kicked out of a superplex into a knee into a Northern Lights Bomb, which was beyond ridiculous. It was a clever way to sell a ticket on a Vega upset, but it was so random for how Vega's character is typically portrayed. Could we call that a cheap pop? You be the judge. In the end, justice for Giulia. 👍 FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE 👍 1. Mr. Iguana and Psycho Clown made their surprise WWE debuts to challenge Los Garza for the AAA Tag Team titles. Los Garza won in a fun match, but the finish was somewhat anticlimactic, as Psycho Clown took the pin. The whole match was to get Mr. Iguana in front of the WWE audience. His reaction was good, but I'm not sure it was as significant as WWE had hoped. Nonetheless, besides a rough botch on the ropes by Iguana, it was a fun match to see on "SmackDown." 2. Talla Tonga has truly arrived. What more could you need than a Jimmy Uso win in your official WWE debut? In all seriousness, it was a good showing from Tonga in what was essentially a prolonged squash match. WWE missed an opportunity after this. When Jacob Fatu (in the most bizarre mask ever seen) arrived to make the save, I fully expected him to jump off the lowering cage into Solo Sikoa's squad. He did not. 👎 DOWN & OUT 👎 1. Logan Paul and Jelly Roll got into it in a backstage training video after throwing silly roast lines at each other. WWE is trying very hard to make this match a huge deal. The production quality of this was admittedly pretty good, but it's all just so corny. It got worse, though. Paul and Drew McIntyre closed out "SmackDown," which only further highlighted what WWE cares about most in 2025: Views. 2. Joe Tessitore was unbearable during the Mr. Iguana match. I'm all for selling the debutant, but it was a lot. (And I mean a lot.) 3. Tiffany Stratton justified her save of SummerSlam opponent Jade Cargill last week by saying she wanted no excuses for her upcoming win. Even though this is WWE's way of showing that Stratton is really a face, despite her character's heel nature, this was still a weak explanation. 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 I'd like to mix up our Uncrowned Gem of the Night award more, but "SmackDown" has made it difficult. There's no need to lie either. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss are one of the best acts going in the company right now. The duo is clearly having a great time with their tag team. They have a wildly natural chemistry and play off each other perfectly. Add the fact that they're phenomenal in-ring talents, and this pairing couldn't have been more of a homerun by WWE. Even though the Women's Tag Team titles are meaningless, I'd love to see Flair and Bliss hold them for as long as possible just to keep them together. 👑 I give this show a Crown score of: 4/10. 👑

John Cena takes subtle shots at The Rock, Travis Scott in pre-SummerSlam showdown with Cody Rhodes

John Cena appeared to come to his senses with just over 48 hours to go before he defended the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in a street fight. Cena had been the villain since he aligned with The Rock and Travis Scott in February at Elimination Chamber. He kicked Rhodes in the groin then and got Scott's help at WrestleMania 41 to defeat Rhodes for his 17th championship reign – the most in WWE history. On Friday's edition of "SmackDown," the crowd that packed the Prudential Center in Newark got a classic Cena promo. He thanked Rhodes for pulling him out of his bad-guy persona, declared that he wasn't going to try to ruin wrestling anymore and instead wanted to take his belt with him when he left WWE, because he didn't want the fans to forget about him. Cena said Rhodes' beatdown gave him the kick in the butt he needed to dig down and find himself and also had subtle shots for the Rock and Scott. "For 25 years, day in and day out I had forged a reputation off of hard work, honestly and respect. And now I realize, five months ago, I flushed it all down the toilet chasing false glory when I bought into somebody's idea to make shocking TV. And we did, we shocked the world, we made great TV. Then the dust settles, and everybody goes back to their normal lives and the people who were supposed to be on my team left. They left me alone to try to pretend to be somebody I'm not," Cena said. "Mark your calendar, Cody, August 1, 2025, in Newark, New Jersey, the day that John Cena came back to the WWE. . . . I don't know who leaves with this on Sunday (holding up the title). But I do know who wins – each and every one of you (the fans), because I'm finally over my own BS and at long last we get to see Cody Rhodes face off against the greatest of all time at my best with something to prove in a main event street fight with no rules that you wanted. Well, if you want some, come get some. And on Sunday, the only platinum rapper showing up to whip your a-- is me." Rhodes couldn't help but smile. It was Cena whom fans were familiar with. But the 48-year-old will compete in a grueling street fight with the possibility of his title reign coming to an end.

WWE Superstar Becky Lynch Is Set To Introduce New Entrance Music

Entrance music is huge in the WWE universe. Don't believe me? Take a listen to the crowd when Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, CM Punk, or Seth Rollins are on their way to the ring. The crowd erupts and sings along like they are at their favorite artist's concert and they just started performing their favorite song. This is especially the case for the more established Superstars. They don't come much bigger and more established than Becky Lynch. And yes, The Man is reportedly getting new entrance music soon. According to Fightful Select, Lynch will debut new entrance music soon—and it's not just a random update. The new theme is a collaboration with pop-punk band The Wonder Years, something Lynch herself teased on Instagram earlier in the day. The track will replace her long-time walkout 'Celtic Invasion,' a song that's followed her through some of her biggest WWE moments. It's a major switch and comes just as she's building momentum as WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion. Her next title defense is locked in for SummerSlam Night Two, where she'll face Lyra Valkyria. And if she wins, Valkyria won't be able to challenge for the title again as long as Lynch holds it. High stakes. New sound. Same Man energy. 'Celtic Invasion' has become one of the most iconic entrance themes in recent WWE history. When it drops, Lynch's fans explode. However, it is a theme that has always seemed best suited for a babyface. As Lynch appears to be embracing her heel persona, it could be time for a change to a song that fits her new vibe. Fans will be watching and listening closely during SummerSlam Night 2 to hear Lynch's new music. If it's too good, it might be even harder for fans to dislike The Man. In case you missed it, here is a look at the complete card for both nights of SummerSlam: SummerSlam Saturday Match Card - August 2 World Heavyweight Championship Match Gunther (c) vs. CM Punk WWE Women's Championship Match Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill Roman Reigns & Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed with Paul Heyman Randy Orton & Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross SummerSlam Sunday Match Card - August 3 Undisputed WWE Championship Street Fight John Cena (c) vs. Cody Rhodes Women's World Championship Match Naomi (c) vs. Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY Intercontinental Championship Match Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. AJ Styles United States Championship Steel Cage Match Solo Sikoa (c) vs. Jacob Fatu Women's Intercontinental Championship No Disqualification Match Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lyra Valkyria WWE Tag Team Title Six-Pack TLC Match WWE Tag Team Champions The Wyatt Sicks vs. The Street Profits vs. The Motor City Machine Guns vs. #DIY vs. Fraxiom vs. Andrade & Rey Fenix
