In The Daily Update portion of F4WOnline.com, Dave Meltzer reported that, “Bayley was backstage at the TNA show yesterday. Between all the mentions last week on Raw and the callout by Blake Monroe, it would certainly seem like Bayley is not leaving WWE.”
Lyra Valkyria had previously mentioned Bayley, doing so every week since beating her and leaving her lying at last Saturday Night’s Main Event. Still, WWE typically goes out of its way to cool off talent before they leave and jump companies, meaning the likelihood that they would keep Bayley’s name omnipresent on its TV is low.
Still, it has been less about promoting The Role Model and more about putting over Valkyria’s success and claim to the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Whether the long-running star of the women’s division sticks with the company that helped make her a star remains to be seen.
Regardless of where Bayley ends up, the women’s division will be better off for having her. One of the smartest, most beloved, influential, and generous stars of her generation, Bayley’s impact on women’s wrestling will be felt long after her active years, thanks in large part to her efforts to secure the industry’s future through her Lodestone Wrestling initiative.
