When Bayley’s WWE Deal Expires

Bayley has revealed when her WWE contract ends.

With over a decade in WWE under her belt, Bayley has done it all. Among other accolades, the star is a four-time Women’s Champion, two-time tag champ, and has won both Money in the Bank and the Royal Rumble.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, The Role Model says she had originally thought she would retire at 35. However, now that she has reached that age, her mindset has changed.

“But when I was younger I always said all right, 35 would be my cut off, because, in my opinion, guys can go forever, but it’s not that cute when you’re a woman and you’re 35. But now that I’m 35 I’m just like, Oh we’re all way past that, and we’re still, main eventing, we’re still, doing red carpets, we’re still doing all this stuff. People still care about us. So that’s kind of like something, they still care about us. So that’s kind of like changed my mindset.”

Bayley went on to reveal she only has a year and a half left on her current contract, and says there’s still a lot she wants to get fone in wrestling.

“I have so many other things I want to make it into. I have a year and a half left on this current contract, so we’ll see what happens then. [And then what?] Man, I don’t know. I think I’ve done everything I really want to do, not everything. There’s still a lot I want to get done, but done so much with WWE and I’ve been here for already 12 years and there’s a huge wave of women coming in that I think are ready to take over, ready to be in those spots.

Teaming with Lyra right now has been super eye-opening to what the whole division has to offer. I’ve got to work with Roxanne. I got to work with Cora. But even like last night, hanging out with Lyra, we went out to dinner, and we hung out with Michin for her birthday. But being able to hang out with her outside of wrestling, hearing her mindset and why she does this, why she wants to make it better, what she wants to make better, how she wants to help even me.”

If Bayley does finish up when her contract expires, she says she will be happy as the company is in good hands with the next generation of wrestlers.

“So when I think about okay, I might be done in a couple of years, who knows? I know that it’s going to be in good hands. So that makes me really happy. Where before, John Cena always says he couldn’t leave because who was going to do what he does? Who’s going to take his place? Who’s going to be the one to freaking put asses in seats? Who’s going to be the one that the kids want to see, that the kids idolize to the level that he does? Cody’s doing that.

I’m not saying I’m John Cena, but that’s kind of the same mindset. As long as it’s in good hands, the goal was to just leave it in a better place than you found it.”

Bayley Misses Out On WrestleMania 41 Match

The day before she was set to challenge for the Women’s Tag Team Titles alongside Lyra Valkyria, Bayley was written out of WrestleMania 41 with a backstage attack. In her place, Becky Lynch made her shock return to WWE and she and Valkyria captured the gold.

Addressing the absence, Triple H assured fans that Bayley will “be just fine.”
