Bayley Reaches Agreement on New WWE Contract Terms

Overview

The professional relationship between Bayley and Lyra Valkyria shifted dramatically on June 22, 2026, when Valkyria betrayed Bayley during a tag team title match on WWE RAW in London. This led to a singles match at Saturday Night’s Main Event in New York, where Valkyria secured a referee stoppage victory, leaving Bayley unconscious and injured. Following the match, Valkyria declared she “never needed Bayley or Becky Lynch” and stated that Bayley is “finished” and will not return to WWE.

This storyline development has coincided with intense speculation regarding Bayley’s contract, which is set to expire at the end of 2026. While rumors of a potential move to AEW have circulated, recent developments suggest her future with WWE is more secure. Although a formal contract has not yet been signed, reports indicate that Bayley has “pretty much agreed to terms” with the company.

Industry updates clarify that an agreement on terms was reportedly reached several weeks ago, coinciding with recent on-screen references to her. Her continued participation in WWE programming and her involvement in the company’s South America tour further suggest confidence in her long-term presence despite the previous conflicting reports regarding her negotiations.
