In a surprising twist just before the highly anticipated Night One of WrestleMania 41, WWE pulled Bayley from her scheduled match in a dramatic storyline move. The former champion was set to team with Lyra Valkyria to take on Women's Tag Team champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, but an unknown assailant removed her from the equation, leaving Valkyria scrambling to find a replacement before the show.

Insider reports, particularly from PWInsider Elite, suggest that Bayley is fit and that her absence from the card was a planned storyline, rumored to have been in the works for weeks. Speculation is swirling that Lyra might orchestrate a reunion with her NXT rival Becky Lynch, who has been absent from the ring since her loss to Morgan in a high-stakes cage match last May.

This turn of events is a tough blow for Bayley. Last year, she celebrated a tremendous WrestleMania moment by capturing the Women’s title from IYO SKY. However, her history with WrestleMania isn’t without its setbacks; she was mocked by The Bellas for being left off the WrestleMania 37 card and missed the event in the following year due to a knee injury. Securing a spot at WrestleMania is a coveted achievement that only the top WWE stars can afford to overlook.

In the aftermath of Bayley’s write-off, AEW's Mercedes Moné, formerly known as Sasha Banks, took to social media to express her support. Their camaraderie dates back to their time in NXT alongside Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, where they not only contended against each other but also pushed WWE to invest in the Women’s Tag Championship.

Moné's message, while filled with friendlily encouragement, hinted at a desire to collaborate in the future, which has fans buzzing. Her post, rich in emoji, is interpreted as a nudge to Bayley to reach out and discuss future opportunities, as missing out on WrestleMania isn’t something any wrestler wants to experience.

Fan reactions to Moné's comments have been mixed, reflecting the ongoing rivalry between AEW and WWE, particularly on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), where allegiances often run deep. Will this spark a collaborative storyline, or is it merely Moné's playful jab at the situation? The wrestling world is eagerly watching for any follow-up!
