Bayley sparks WWE backstage tension amid contract speculation

Speculation regarding Bayley’s professional future has intensified following a social media post that reportedly caused tension within WWE. The wrestler shared a training montage featuring various athletes, including AEW star Mercedes Moné. The video utilized the song ‘All In’ and included the caption ‘all or nothing, baby’, which many fans and insiders interpreted as a tease regarding a potential move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

Reports indicate that the post ‘did not land well with everyone’ backstage at WWE. While there is no official update on her contract status, the timing of the post coincides with her absence from television following a storyline loss to Lyra Valkyria. Some reports suggest her contract may expire soon, while others indicate it could run as late as January or even 2027.

Despite the social media hints, some industry insiders suggest a move to AEW for their upcoming ‘All In’ event is unlikely, noting that those within AEW are also reportedly baffled by the posts and believe her WWE obligations may extend for some time.
