Bianca Belair has a new challenger.
After defeating Bayley in a match on Monday's episode of WWE Raw, Alexa Bliss is officially the number one contender to Bianca Belair's Raw Women's Championship. Bliss was able to knock off Bayley after sending her into the bottom turnbuckle with a dropkick. Moments later, Bliss hit a Twisted Bliss to pick up the victory and secure her status as number one contender.
After the match, Bliss and Belair hugged in the ring. As they were in the midst of their hug, Bray Wyatt's logo flashed on the titantron. This prompted Bliss to put Belair in position for a Sister Abigail, but Bliss released Belair at the last second in a moment of confusion.

Originally, Bliss and Bayley both won separate triple threat matches on the December 5 edition of Raw, which led to tonight's singles bout to determine the next challenger to Bianca Belair's throne.
Bliss has not competed for the Raw Women's Championship since the Extreme Rules event in 2021, where she lost to Charlotte Flair. Furthermore, Bliss has not held the Raw Women's Championship since 2018.
It is currently unknown when the championship match between Belair and Bliss will take place. Fightful will update fans when that bout is announced.
