Bayley WWE Return Plans

WWE

It seems as though Bayley-watch is now officially earlier.

After months of speculation about her future amid her contract expiring later this year, it has now been reported that Bayley is expected to remain with the company.

With Bayley set to return to WWE TV in the coming weeks, there are a number of ways that they could reintroduce her to the show.

Here are some potential Bayley WWE return plans.

Costs Lyra Valkyria Money In The Bank Qualifier

Bayley’s last WWE appearance came at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Madison Square Garden, when she lost to Lyra Valkyria and was attacked after the match.

In the weeks since, Lyra has continued to mention Bayley by name on Raw, noting that she ‘ran her off’ and she’s ‘never coming back’.

With WWE laying it on thick with Bayley in recent weeks, it seems as though issues between her and Lyra are far from over.

With Money In The Bank qualifiers starting soon, we may end up seeing Bayley cost Lyra her spot in the match.

Feuds With Fatal Influence On SmackDown

Among the new faces to arrive on the WWE main roster are Fatal Influence, who have already been dominating the competition on SmackDown.

Jacy has often cited Bayley as one of her influences, with Bayley effectively taking Jacy under her wing during her time in NXT.

A move over to SmackDown could be a change of scenery for Bayley, with her chasing a title she has yet to hold during her career.

Feud With Roxanne Perez & Judgment Day

One feud that fans have been waiting to see since Roxanne Perez moved up to Raw is a singles program between her and Bayley.

A feud between the two of them began back in 2025, but it culminated in a four-way instead of a singles match.

Fans were hoping to see Bayley and Roxanne’s rivalry continue onto the main roster once Roxanne was called up, but that never came to pass.

With Bayley now on her way back, hopefully we can get back to it.

Chases Tag Team Championship With AJ Lee

AJ Lee and Bayley’s friendship has been long documented both on and off screen, with them having their first match in over a decade earlier this year on Raw for AJ’s Intercontinental Championship.

While the match between AJ and Bayley has now taken place, we have yet to see what the two of them could offer as a tag team.

Bayley and AJ coming together to run the Women’s Tag Team division would be a fun spotlight for the division.

Turns Heel To Reunite Feud With IYO SKY

Since Bayley came to Raw, fans were waiting to see her pick up her rivalry with IYO SKY that culminated at WrestleMania XL.

While IYO and Bayley have shared the odd glance here and there, there has yet to be anything serious between the two since they were back on the same brand.

IYO is now one of the most popular stars on the Raw roster, which could lead to some resentment from Bayley upon her return.

A heel turn could be what Bayley needs to capture that spark again, and IYO is currently on Raw with nothing to do.
