What they're saying

We can hardly go a day without some kind of update on Bayley and her future in WWE, and pro wrestling more generally. At last word, she has a big decision to make sometime over the next few months. Her contract with the company she has worked for spanning nearly 15 years is coming up by the end of the year. What will she do? Where will she go? We can’t know the answer to that yet, and maybe Bayley herself doesn’t know the answer. She does seem to be thinking about things, though, as she could be heard saying in a mini documentary she posted on her match at Madison Square Garden against Lyra Valkyria at Saturday Night’s Main Event: View this post on Instagram “It’s a big moment for both of us. Just to wrestle inside the Garden, perform inside of the Garden is obviously like bucket list for a lot of performers. Whether you’re in sports, or you’re a musician, or you’re in the WWE — yeah, it’s a big deal anytime you get to be a part of it. I’ve been doing this for so long and I’ve wrestled in the Garden multiple times — a really good amount of times, thankfully. But this one just feels different. I think the time and the stage I am in my career right now, I feel like I’m taking a further look back at everything, or seeing it from a different view and knowing my place in this business and knowing my worth in this business. And Lyra’s going to find out the hard way, let’s just say that.” She has since made her return, at a live event of all things, so it seems likely we will still be seeing her on television in the near future. Beyond that, though, it’s anyone’s guess. Stay tuned.
