"Blake Monroe still hasn’t wrestled her first main roster match on Friday Night SmackDown and instead of allowing fans to run away with that, creating their own narratives from it, she’s taking some measure of control. She’s started to make it clear she thinks she should be wrestling for world titles and anything less is beneath her. Like so: world championship material, don’t waste my time — blakey ♡ (@BlakeMonroeWWE) August 22, 2026 That led to a back-and-forth with Bayley, who responded to it by simply stating “ok.” When Monroe responded “that’s it?” Bayley played coy by saying “maybe… maybe not.” That prompted the final word on the matter: no one likes a tease, see u on Friday or don’t tweet me again https://t.co/f6ZYXrLQYW — blakey ♡ (@BlakeMonroeWWE) August 23, 2026 This is interesting right now because Bayley hasn’t been seen on WWE television since the Lyra Valkyria beatdown at Saturday Night’s Main Event back on July 18. Her contract is reportedly coming up soon and she’s seemingly teased jumping ship to AEW but it’s been made clear all the while that it’s entirely possible and maybe even likely she re-ups with WWE. We’re just playing a waiting game right now. If she’s working angles on social media with current talent, some are surely going to take that as an indicator that things are looking good for WWE. We’ll see if that ends up being the case. For now, enjoy the beef.
