Bayley has been absent from WWE since this past July’s WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show following her loss to Lyra Valkyria and post-match attack by Valkyria. Bayley’s contract with WWE is currently set to expire at the end of this year. Bayley recently was involved in an online confrontation with Blake Monroe on social media that ended with Monroe challenging Bayley to show up at this week’s WWE SmackDown show.
TNA talent Jada Stone recently revealed on Instagram Stories that Bayley was in attendance backstage at TNA’s Lockdown 2026 event on Sunday in Chicago, Illinois and shared a photo of the two hugging backstage.
