Time Left On Bayley’s WWE Contract Revealed

WWE

Following her WrestleMania 41 absence, the amount of time left on Bayley’s WWE contract has now been revealed.

Originaly set to team with Lyra Valkyria at WrestleMania 41, she would be replaced by Becky Lynch following a backstage attack ahead of Night One of the two-night WWE PLE.

Lynch and Valkryia would go on to defeat Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to become WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.

With reports that Bayley’s removal from the match was a storyline that had been planned for weeks, Bayley was also absent from the Raw After WrestleMania episode on April 21, 2025.

She has, however, revealed her current contract status in WWE during an appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet.

Asked about what’s next, Bayley would reveal that she has a year and a half on her current WWE deal and has plenty that she wants to do, saying:

“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.”

Asked “and then what?” by Chris Van Vliet, Bayley went on to look at what she could be doing in the future, explaining:

“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.

“Things that we’re doing going into WrestleMania, how she wants to be better for me makes me so happy that there’s people like that and women like that that want to be better for the division.

“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.”

Bayley would then use John Cena as an example of a WWE star who said he couldn’t leave but is now comfortably in his retirement year, stating:

“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.”

In the interview, Bayley would also reassess her plan to stop wrestling at 35, thanks to people still caring about what she does.

As for Valkyria and Lynch, their title reign came to an end on the April 21 WWE Raw after Wrestlemania, with The Man going on to attack her tag partner following the loss.
