Bayley, a seasoned WWE performer and multi-time Women’s Champion, recently reminded fans of her previous encounter with Ruca, suggesting another match might be on the horizon.
Bayley, known as The Role Model, has claimed the WWE Women’s Championship, SmackDown Women’s Championship, and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship twice each. Their last contest took place on December 12 during Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Sol Ruca earned a hard-fought victory in a nearly ten-minute bout. Bayley posted a highlight reel of that match on X (formerly Twitter), coupling it with a message to Ruca that she hasn’t forgotten the loss.
“I ain’t forget @SolRucaWWE,” Bayley wrote.
