Mercedes Mone stokes rumors of Bayley moving to AEW

Mercedes Moné, the former WWE star now signed with AEW, has repeatedly hinted that WWE veteran Bayley could join AEW. Over the past week Moné posted a match graphic showing herself versus Bayley at AEW’s WrestleDream in October 2026 and later shared an hour‑glass GIF on X shortly after Bayley appeared on RAW in a segment with Lyra Valkyria. The posts have reignited speculation that Bayley’s multi‑year WWE contract, signed in late 2023, may be nearing its end, though neither WWE nor AEW has confirmed any move.

The speculation has generated strong fan discussion on social media, with many awaiting an official announcement. WWE subtly referenced Moné during Bayley’s RAW segment, underscoring her lasting impact on the women’s division. As of now, the rumors remain unverified and are driven primarily by Moné’s teasing rather than any confirmed negotiations.
