Legitimacy of Bayley’s Injury Revealed After Surprise Attack at WrestleMania

WrestleMania 41 just took a left turn—and fans were quick to believe the worst. But now, new details confirm that Bayley’s removal from the Women’s Tag Team Title match wasn’t a last-minute injury decision—it was all part of the plan.

During Saturday’s WrestleMania Countdown show, a segment showed Bayley laid out backstage following a mystery attack. WWE framed it as a possible injury angle, with Adam Pearce confronting Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez about the situation. But while the segment played up the suspense, the truth was something else entirely.

According to PWInsider Elite, “Bayley is out of WrestleMania, but she’s not injured. This has been WWE’s plan for several weeks.”

Sources have indicated that Bayley’s removal from the WrestleMania card had been mapped out ahead of time, and it didn’t come from any health issue. That hasn’t stopped fellow talent from expressing sympathy. There has been sympathy among the talent for Bayley when it began to be known that she was going to leave the show, since she is universally respected.

Bayley’s exit leaves Lyra Valkyria without a partner just hours before the tag title match, and fans are still waiting to find out who will step up. Whether WWE plans to use this as a platform for a shocking return or a next-gen star from NXT, one thing is certain: this curveball wasn’t spontaneous—it was carefully scripted.

Do you think WWE made the right call pulling Bayley from WrestleMania? Or did she deserve that spotlight after everything she’s given? Sound off in the comments and let us know where you stand.
