Bayley is expected to remain with WWE, as recent reports indicate she has re-signed with the company.
The belief is that she will take on a broader role beyond just being an on-screen talent, though the exact details of her additional duties have not been disclosed. After being absent from television since a post-match attack from Lyra Valkyria in July, she is anticipated to return to Monday Night Raw within the next few weeks.
Earlier speculation had linked Bayley with a potential move to AEW, and she had even teased an appearance at AEW All In 2026 on social media. However, it appears she will not be reuniting with former tag team partner Mercedes Mone there.
The report does not confirm that Bayley has signed a new contract. It only suggests that WWE is planning to use her again soon. While this may be a sign that negotiations are going well, that is just speculation. Nothing is official yet.
Since joining WWE in December 2012, Bayley has become one of the top stars in the women’s division. Her championship resume includes the NXT Women’s Championship, the Raw Women’s Championship, two SmackDown Women’s Championships, the WWE Women’s Championship, and two WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with Sasha Banks (Mercedes Mone).
Becky Lynch Explains Why WWE’s Four Horsewomen Became So Successful
Becky Lynch recently appeared as a guest on the *No Contest Wrestling* podcast. During the episode, she spoke about the success of WWE’s Four Horsewomen. The group consists of herself, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Bayley. Lynch explained why their dynamic worked so well. According to her, the main reason was that none of them tried to copy one another.
Lynch stated that they pushed each other constantly. At times, they were supportive and wanted everyone to succeed. At other times, they were highly competitive. Each woman wanted to have the best match on the show. Each wanted to prove she was the best. This mix of encouragement and rivalry drove all four of them to improve.
A key factor in their success was their individuality. Lynch pointed out that each woman developed her own distinct identity. Charlotte carried herself like a star and a queen. Sasha embraced the role of a boss. Bayley connected with fans through her relatable personality. Lynch herself adopted the tough persona of “The Man”. Because they were so different, they did not try to replicate what was working for someone else. This allowed each of them to stand out on her own.
Lynch compared their appeal to the Spice Girls. Each member of that group had a unique image that attracted a different audience. The same was true for the Four Horsewomen. They looked different, moved differently, and had distinct characters. This variety meant that fans could find someone to connect with. At the same time, their differences fuelled their competition. They could compare themselves to one another, yet they remained completely separate in their approaches.
The Four Horsewomen name was never an official team name on WWE’s main roster. It was a nickname that originated with the fans. The four women came up together in WWE’s NXT brand during the mid-2010s. They became closely associated with the rise of the women’s division during that period. The name itself is a reference. It nods to the Four Horsewomen of mixed martial arts. It also pays tribute to the legendary Four Horsemen stable, which was led by Charlotte’s father, Ric Flair.
Collectively, the four women have won many championships and achieved great success. Sasha Banks left WWE in 2022. She now competes in AEW under the name Mercedes Moné. Lynch, Flair, and Bayley continue to work with WWE.
During the same interview, Lynch also spoke about career development in wrestling. She shared her view that wrestlers should not reach the top too quickly. She believes it is better to build gradually toward major accomplishments. She used Chelsea Green as an example. Green won a championship at SummerSlam. According to Lynch, that victory felt more meaningful because the audience had followed Green’s journey over time. The struggle and the wait make the success more rewarding.
