Alexa Bliss returns, Tatum Paxley debuts on SmackDown

Rumors initially indicated Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill would be a feud over the women’s championship coming out of SummerSlam. Instead, Chelsea Green won the title and certainly appears to be off to duke it out with Nia Jax. Flair and Cargill, meanwhile, are still fighting amongst themselves, they just aren’t doing it for a championship. And it turns out, the headlining segment they were given on Friday Night SmackDown in Philadelphia this week was about more than the two of them. Indeed, after putting together a relatively decent television main event match, the two were interrupted by Michin & B-Fab, who interfered to ensure Cargill could get out of the Figure Eight. That’s when we got surprise one — Alexa Bliss making her return, complete with her doll Lilly. Then the lights went out and when they came back up, we got surprise number two — Tatum Paxley making her main roster debut. This changes EVERYTHING!! 🤯 ALEXA BLISS is back and TATUM PAXLEY is here!!!@AlexaBliss_WWE | @
