Bayley's WrestleMania Dreams Dashed!

In a stunning twist before Night One of WrestleMania 41, WWE announced that Bayley would not participate in her scheduled match for Night Two. Set to team up with Lyra Valkyria to challenge Women’s Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Bayley was mysteriously pulled from the lineup after being attacked by an unknown assailant.

Reports from PWInsider Elite suggest that Bayley is in good health and this exit was part of a planned storyline. Speculation is rampant that Valkyria might call on fellow Irish wrestling star and NXT rival Becky Lynch to step in, especially since Lynch has been out since her title loss last May.

A Tough Break for the Star

This setback is particularly hard for Bayley, who enjoyed a triumphant WrestleMania moment last year when she claimed the Women’s title from IYO SKY. After being snubbed in WrestleMania 37 and sidelined by a knee injury the following year, this latest mishap has left her fans heartbroken—every wrestler aims for that coveted WrestleMania spot, and not everyone can take it for granted.

Mercedes Moné Offers Support

In a show of solidarity, AEW star Mercedes Moné, formerly known as Sasha Banks, took to social media shortly after Bayley was pulled from WrestleMania. The two have a long history, dating back to their groundbreaking runs in NXT, where they fought for the recognition of Women’s Tag Team championships.

Despite not being paired with Bayley during her WWE tenure, Moné’s departure from WWE in 2022 was reportedly linked to frustrations over booking decisions regarding the Tag titles. The pair have expressed desires to reunite in the ring someday.

An Emoji Message?

Moné’s post included an emoji-laden message that seemed to suggest Bayley reach out for a discussion about potential collaborations, especially given her absence from WrestleMania. Although the meaning of emojis can sometimes fly over our heads, it’s clear she wants to support her friend.

Mixed Reactions From Fans

Fan reactions have been mixed, as discussions swirl in the wrestling community over the divide between AEW and WWE loyalties. Many are left wondering whether this will lead to further collaboration or if Moné was simply enjoying some lighthearted trolling ahead of WrestleMania.
