In breaking wrestling news, Bayley has as brought word not signed a brand-new WWE deal as speculation continues over whether she could leave the company and potentially join AEW.
Bayley was final seen at Saturday Night’s Main Presentation, where she dropped to Lyra Valkyria. WWE appeared to reinforce the possibility that the match was a write-off when Valkyria referenced the victory during a commercial-break passionate speech on Raw. “I dropped a load of dead weight on Saturday when I ran Bayley out of here.”
The timing has attracted attention because Bayley’s WWE terms is as indicated due to expire in October, with speculation growing in newest weeks about what she might do next.
Bayley herself appears to be having some fun with the discussion. She recently posted a lengthy training montage to Instagram carrying the caption “all or nothing — baby.” The video showed her training at several wrestling schools and working with wrestlers outside WWE, most notably Mercedes Moné. Fans moreover noticed Bayley used the song “All In” for the montage — sharing its name with AEW’s marquee event at Wembley Stadium in London on August 30.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer shared the message he has heard regarding Bayley is that her future remains undecided. “The only thing I’ve heard from them when it comes to Bayley is that Bayley has a decision to make. She has not finalized a deal a deal.” Interestingly enough, bayley has a decision to make, so that’s the story.
Meltzer feels Bayley’s absence from WWE television could now depend on whether she agrees to a recently introduced deal. I’m sure she’ll be back on TV.” He compared the situation to occasions in AEW where Tony Khan has kept wrestlers off television while their contractual futures remained uncertain — “When she signs a agreement. “If she doesn’t sign – I think they’re doing the same thing that Tony [Khan] does or has done.”
Meltzer furthermore outlined what he feels could happen creatively depending on Bayley’s decision. If she re-signs, he expects WWE could right away re-emergence to her issue with Valkyria. “If she signs a contract, she’ll probably come back and attack Lyra, and that’ll be her storyline.”
If she decides against signing a fresh contract, Meltzer is of the opinion that her loss at Madison Square Garden may have already served as her WWE farewell. “If she doesn’t sign, she doesn’t come back and the Madison Square Garden thing was her write-off.”
There is currently no confirmation that Bayley intends to leave WWE or join AEW, and her social media posts could simply be playing into the speculation. For now, as noted by Meltzer, she remains unsigned to a fresh WWE deal and has a decision to make about her future.
