Raw star Bayley has teased sharing the ring with two former WWE stars following her recent push to appear for TNA Wrestling.
With Bayley wrestling for AAA, Raw, SmackDown and NXT in recent weeks, the former WWE Women’s Champion recently expressed interest in appearing for TNA Wrestling, telling the promotion to “join the party.”
Two current TNA stars who were previously champions in WWE have taken to Twitter to trade messages with Bayley, with potential WWE-TNA crossover matches teased.
In response to Bayley asking Brian Myers (fka Curt Hawkins in WWE) if he really thinks she won’t come to TNA, Elayna Black tweeted:
“You won’t 🙄”
Bayley replied to the wrestler formerly known as Cora Jade, writing:
I OWE YOU A FRESH CAN OF WHOOP ASS!!!!!!!!!!
0-1 ELAYNA, I need more
Bayley shared the ring with “Cora Jade” on three occasions in NXT early last year, with their only singles encounter seeing Jade defeat Bayley on the February 11, 2025 episode.
They also faced off in tag-team action on the January 28, 2025 episode, with Bayley and Giulia defeating Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez, and were part of the NXT Women’s Championship four-way bout at that February’s Vengeance Day Premium Live Event, which ultimately saw Giulia retain over Bayley, Jade and Roxanne Perez.
Elayna Black wasn’t the only star who Bayley teased getting back into the ring with, with Indi Hartwell reacting to the Role Model’s recent NXT house show return by writing:
Should have done them when I was doing them
Hinting at a crossover meeting, Bayley replied:
I mean….we do have @ThisIsTNA
Hartwell got specific with her reply, asking Bayley:
You free June 28?
June 28 is the date of TNA Slammiversary, which will take place at the Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts.
With Bayley pushing for a TNA appearance on several occasions, we could end up seeing more crossover involving main roster stars, with the WWE’s contributions in the crossover being mostly NXT-affiliated so far.
With the Hardy Boyz recently appearing at WWE World ahead of WrestleMania 42, it’d be fun to see Matt and Jeff Hardy finally get the chance to make a main roster TV return, in exchange for Bayley visiting TNA Wrestling.
