Bliss and Belair to run it back at the Rumble. 

The most recent occasion that Alexa Bliss and Bianca Belair shared the ring was on the January 2nd Raw with the Raw Women’s Championship on the line. The match came to an end after Bliss ambushed a referee and then proceeded to take out Belair.

Belair made her return to Raw on tonight’s show and offered Bliss a title opportunity at the Royal Rumble. 

The two talents brawled around the arena. When Belair had Bliss above her head, the silhouette of Uncle Howdy distracted her. Bliss was able to get the advantage and DDT’d Belair on the floor.
