After her not-that-surprising return on Raw this past Monday, the pro wrestling media* mostly seemed to agree that Bayley had yet to re-sign with WWE.
The person who stated she had is also the most prominent wrestling reporter and historian in the world, whether his many critics like it or not. That would be Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer, and it wouldn’t be the first time Meltzer’s gotten a little ahead of himself (or had his supposition aggregated as definitive statements). And that seems to be what’s
happened here, as in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter includes the following note from its author — Dave:
The other big story was the return of Bayley. Bayley had pretty much agreed to terms a few weeks ago, when they started mentioning her on television. She has not signed a new deal but that is expected to happen. But obviously they believe strongly enough that she will that they brought her back.
Fightful, which after her return said they couldn’t confirm whether Bayley had re-signed or not, added that AEW remains very interested in scooping Bayley for more chapters of her rivalry with Mercedes Moné, or maybe a Boss-n-Hug Connection reunion.
Let us know if you’d be down for that, or would rather she Bayley stay in WWE with the other two NXT Horsewomen. You can also chime in Meltzer or coverage of pro wreslting in general. Do either or both in the comments below, or with a longer post in The Feed.
