Bayley Drops Major Hint On Reigniting Feud With WWE Star
Bayley may have finally found a direction for her on-screen character.
After months of having no target in sight, The Role Model seems interested in reigniting a feud with a former WWE stablemate.
Post becoming the newly crowned Women’s Intercontinental Champion, AJ Lee announced that she would be a fighting champion during an appearance on the March 2 taping of Raw.
Her segment was followed by multiple backstage segments, where various superstars hoped to challenge Lee for the championship at a future date.
She was shown with Lyra Valkyria, and just when they approached GM Adam Pearce’s cabin, they saw Iyo Sky, who potentially had the same idea, leave as they exchanged a stare.
The 36-year-old is also known for creating the now-defunct Damage CTRL faction, which included Sky and Dakota Kai, and was later joined by the Kabuki Warriors.
In 2024, she was kicked out of the group. Bayley shared a snippet of their match from WrestleMania XL, where she defeated Sky to become the WWE Women’s Champion.

Lyra Valkyria Helped Bayley After WrestleMania Snub
Professional wrestling is a cutthroat business, and Bayley found that out in a brutal way.
She was scheduled to team up with Lyra Valkyria at WrestleMania 41 to challenge for the Women’s Tag Team Championship, then held by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
However, due to Becky Lynch returning to the company after nearly a year, she was written off, with Lynch taking her place.
While speaking on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, The Role Model recalled being hurt by the snub and turned to her tag team partner, who emerged as the wall that she needed to lean on.
Since returning to the company in June, she has been paired with Lyra Valkyria
