Just yesterday, we heard that WWE and Alexa Bliss were far apart on contract talks. This morning, a different outlet — PWInsider — had a similar report that also said Bliss was not in Indianapolis today for Royal Rumble. But then, during the pre-show, Insider heard the 5-time WWE Women’s champ was backstage at Lucas Oil Stadium.
