Latest Backstage Update on Bayley’s Current WWE Status & Contract

The July 18th WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show in New York City, New York featured Lyra Valkyria defeating Bayley in a singles match and attacked her after the match. This past Monday’s WWE RAW show in Detroit, Michigan featured Valkyria announcing in a Netflix exclusive ad break interview segment that she had dropped the dead weight and claimed to have ran Bayley out of WWE. Bayley’s contract with WWE is currently set to expire at the end of this year.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that one source spoken to within WWE stated that there was talk backstage following last week’s Saturday Night’s Main Event show that it may have been Bayley’s last time wrestling at Madison Square Garden.

Meltzer reported that Bayley’s future with WWE is currently uncertain and she has a decision to make regarding her wrestling career future by the end of this year when her contract expires. Meltzer reported that one of Bayley’s best friends Mercedes Mone has indicated of late on social media that she wants Bayley to go to AEW and have a feud with her in the company.

Meltzer also reported that Bayley has many things to think about including the offer WWE will make to try to keep her but the reality is that her current spot in WWE is likely what she would be at if she stays. Meltzer reported that if Bayley decided to leave, then she will at least have a chance to rise to a much higher spot for her wrestling career.
