Bayley is rumored to leave WWE at the end of this year.

The Role Model’s contract is set to expire at the end of this year. As of now, she has not signed a contract extension with the Stamford-based promotion. Reports claim that WWE and TKO want to keep her in the company because she is seen as a locker room leader.

Many people believe that she might leave WWE after her contract expires to join her best friend, Mercedes Moné, in AEW. Moné previously worked for WWE as Sasha Banks.

Bayley faced her former friend-turned-rival Lyra Valkyria at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 18 and lost the match. After the match, Lyra Valkyria launched a brutal attack on the former WWE Women’s Champion.

Following her match at WWE SNME, The Role Model took to her Instagram account to share photos from the event. In the comments section of her post, Kehlani Jordan wrote, “Don’t leave us,” hinting that Bayley might be leaving WWE soon.

The comment sparked major speculation that Bayley could actually be on her way out of the promotion.

Bayley Could Become a Free Agent in October 2026

F4WOnline recently released a new report providing an update on Bayley’s contract situation. According to the report, the exact date of her contract expiration is not publicly known.

However, her deal is set to expire sometime in Q4 2026. This means she could become a free agent around October 2026 if she decides not to re-sign with WWE.

Bayley signed with WWE in December 2012. She has been loyal to the promotion ever since. She played a big role in the Women’s Revolution in WWE and is regarded as one of the four horsewomen of the company.
