Bianca Belair retained the WWE Raw Women's Championship at the WWE Royal Rumble, and Alexa Bliss got another visit from Uncle Howdy.
For all of the borderline supernatural elements that went into the build-up of Bianca Belair vs. Alexa Bliss at WWE Royal Rumble 2023, the match itself was pretty straightforward.
Bliss gave it her best shot, but Bianca would retain her championship with a KOD, reaching over 300 days as champion. Bianca, in the process, has become the first black World Champion, male or female, to accomplish this feat in WWE.

After the match, Uncle Howdy gave Alexa Bliss another cryptic warning on the Titantron. The relationship between Bliss & Howdy has yet to be explained.
Howdy had a busy night, getting physical and diving off of a platform onto LA Knight less than half an hour before sending another message to Alexa Bliss.
