Decorated WWE superstar Bayley seems to have teased her potential AEW arrival amidst ongoing speculations regarding her future. The former multi-time champion stirred conjecture this time with her latest social media post, and the caption that accompanied it.
After getting betrayed by her rival and former tag partner Lyra Valkyria this past June, Bayley battled the up-and-comer to settle their score last month at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. Unfortunately, The Role Model was defeated by the former Women’s Intercontinental Champion, who viciously attacked her once-mentor after the bout by hitting her with her devastating move, the Night Wing, onto the exposed steel ringside steps. Despite competing in a couple of house shows in July, Bayley has yet to return to action on WWE programming since then.
Shortly after her loss to Lyra at SNME, rumors began making the rounds suggesting that the post-match angle which saw the former Women’s Champion getting brutalized was meant to write her off of TV, as her contract is reportedly set to expire by the end of this year, and WWE has not officially re-signed her yet. Conjecture has also been circulating that the 37-year-old may jump ship to AEW, as the Tony Khan-led company is supposedly very interested in acquiring her services.
In a training montage posted on Instagram a few hours ago, Bayley seemed to tease her potential AEW signing, firstly through the caption of the post, which seemed to be a nod to one of the promotion’s major annual pay-per-views, Double or Nothing.
“all or nothing, baby,” wrote Bayley.
Secondly, the music track chosen for the video was a song with the chorus refrain “be all in”, which also may have been referencing AEW’s biggest show of the year. Furthermore, in the clip itself, Bayley was spotted training with All Elite star Mercedes Mone, one of her greatest rivals and former tag partners.
AEW’s Mercedes Mone teased rematch with Bayley earlier this year
Not long after Bayley was betrayed by Lyra Valkyria, towards the end of June, Mercedes Mone took to her Instagram story to post a fan-made match graphic for a bout between her and her former Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection partner at AEW’s WrestleDream pay-per-view later this year.
Whether The CEO will be able to lock horns with Bayley again in the Jacksonville-based promotion remains to be seen.
