Speculation has intensified around WWE’s decisions regarding Becky Lynch and Bayley as they fight for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, with many questioning the true reasoning behind this heated storyline. The current tension between the two superstars, driven by both on-screen events and potential backstage shifts, has highlighted deeper motives within the company.
Bayley’s Status at WWE Sparks Debate
Bayley, also known as The Role Model, recently found herself at the center of controversy after being taken out of WrestleMania due to a vicious backstage attack. In the weeks that followed, Becky Lynch revealed herself as the mystery assailant, sparking a dramatic turn in their ongoing conflict. The tables turned when Bayley made her return on Monday Night RAW, attacking Lynch and reigniting animosity over the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Backstage Concerns Over Bayley’s Future
On a recent episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter addressed widespread online rumors about Bayley’s potential departure from WWE. Apter suggested that the organization is deliberately placing Bayley in a prominent feud with Becky Lynch as a strategy to influence her decision to remain with the company. He explained this move as a way for WWE to show appreciation and importance to Bayley at a critical moment in her career.
“You know, Becky was attacked by Bayley. So maybe there’s been a lot going on the internet. Is Bayley gonna leave, is Bayley this, is Bayley that? So maybe they have to placate Bayley to stay and give her another program with Becky for the belt.”
