An update has surfaced on a top "WWE SmackDown" superstar after being pulled from "WrestleMania 41" festivities.

WWE is currently in the midst of a tour in Europe for "Monday Night Raw," as well as "Friday Night SmackDown" and live events. The company has also booked several on-air talents for its WWE World convention. Major names such as Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton, and even TNA World Champion Joe Hendry have been booked for WWE World.

Fans were surprised when Fanatics confirmed that Alexa Bliss was pulled from WWE World. Rumors surfaced online with various claims about the "WWE SmackDown" star's future.

Fightful reports that Bliss has not suffered an injury, and there are no issues between her and WWE despite the gossip online. It was also noted that Bliss could be added back to the WWE World lineup.

As reported back on March 3rd by #PWNexus on our discord, Bo Dallas is cleared to return to the ring. Plans of their return are reportedly imminent.

At this time, there's no word on if there are any plans for Bliss during the two-night "WrestleMania 41" PLE. Bliss made her surprise return during the women's Royal Rumble match on Feb. 1. She had been out of action due to her pregnancy.

Before Bliss returned at the "WWE Royal Rumble" PLE, reports claimed that she had contractual issues with the top wrestling promotion. During Bliss' return, commentators Michael Cole and Wade Barrett poked fun at the rumors.

Some believe that WWE's creative team could be saving Bliss for the inevitable return of the Wyatt Sicks. Fightful also noted that the faction's leader, Uncle Howdy, has been medically cleared, and creative plans have been discussed. With that said, the group's return is not imminent.
