Alexa Bliss posted four hand heart emojis—and that’s all it took to send Twitter into full meltdown mode.

On April 12, Bliss fired off the subtle tweet—no caption, no photos, just “🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻”—but it landed like a bombshell. That same day, fans learned the former RAW Women’s Champion won’t be part of WrestleMania 41. Despite returning at the Royal Rumble to one of the loudest reactions of the night, WWE has no plans for her on the Mania card. Fans did not take the news well.

One user wrote, “I still don’t understand how the one woman who got the biggest pop of the night at the Royal Rumble doesn’t have a match on the year’s biggest show.” Another echoed the sentiment, replying directly to the emoji post with, “You deserve to be on the Mania card 😭.”

That frustration only intensified as the replies poured in. A fan added, “I don’t get this situation at all. U come back to the biggest pop of the year and they have nothing for u at Mania. I don’t get WWE at all.”

Another user chimed in with a more emotional message: “I am very sad. A. You did school me and put me on blast but B. More importantly, my absolute favorite and you won’t be involved—it’s really sad. Hope it picks up later.”

Some fans even called WWE out directly. “ABSURD behaviour to not include you on the WrestleMania card. Praying you still have a chance to show up!! ❤️” one user wrote. Another added, “Mania has the biggest matches, stars, and storylines. Wait, you’re not on the card? I guess it’s a glorified house show. Unless of course you make a surprise appearance. We need an Alexa Bliss Las Vegas Mania moment. HHH book her and the memories will be 4ever. 5 feet of Fury. THE GODDESS.”

This massive outpouring of support came right after Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select confirmed the internal hold-up. “There were some plans to tie Alexa Bliss in creatively with the Wyatt 6. Bo Dallas’ injury led to WWE keeping the entire group off TV,” Sapp said in a Q&A. He added, “Alexa Bliss returned at the Rumble, signed a new contract, and was taken off TV and removed from the Mania week schedule.”

The plan now, according to sources, is that the Wyatt Sicks faction—including Bliss—is expected to return after WrestleMania 41 wraps, as “creative was already set.” That tracks with earlier reports from Dave Meltzer and subtle clues dropped by Bliss herself, including a cryptic X post with a Ross Geller meme saying “I’m fine, okay? I’m great!” and a throwback Instagram post with Bray Wyatt’s longtime mask artist Jason Baker.

But that explanation isn’t cooling off fans. As of now, Bliss is still trending on Twitter, and the sentiment is overwhelmingly the same—her absence from the card makes no sense.

Do you think WWE should’ve found a spot for Alexa Bliss on the WrestleMania 41 card, or does saving her for the Wyatt Sicks relaunch make more sense? Hit the comments and tell us where you stand.
