~~Bayley Reaches Agreement on New~~ WWE ~~Contract Terms~~ Considers Rare Stipulation for Bayley-Valkyria Feud

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. While speculation regarding Bayley’s contract expiration at the end of 2026 initially fueled rumors of a move to AEW, recent developments indicate her future with WWE is more secure. Although a formal contract has not yet been signed, reports clarify that Bayley has “pretty much agreed to terms” with the company, with an agreement on terms reportedly reached several weeks ago. Bayley has since returned to active competition, participating in non-televised live events during a South American tour and later interfering in a Money in the Bank qualifying match on Monday Night RAW to cost Valkyria a victory. As the rivalry intensifies, Valkyria holds a 2-0 singles record against Bayley in their recent encounters. To conclude the feud, WWE creative teams are reportedly considering a match with a “rare” stipulation that would be seldom seen within the women’s division. While ~~the specific details remain unconfirmed, reports indicate~~ it has been confirmed that the proposed match would not be a Hell in a Cell ~~match.~~ match, reports from Self Made Pro and WrestleVotes indicate that a hair vs. hair match is being discussed. Such a stipulation would be a significant rarity, marking the first time women have competed in such a match since WrestleMania 20 in 2004.
