SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair defeated Bayley in a Hell in a Cell match at WWE’s last pay-per-view. Still, Bayley would pin Belair subsequently in a mixed tag team match on SmackDown. This led to Bayley calling Belair’s victory at Hell in A Cell a fluke, and Belair would challenge her to an “I quit” match at Money in the Bank.
Now though, what appeared to be the blowoff match to their pair’s feud is officially off. This is because Bayley has been injured in training, according to WWE.com. The specifics around the injury she sustained were not revealed, but apparently, she will be out for approximately nine months, likely meaning a return around WrestleMania 38.
WWE intends on naming a replacement for Bayley on SmackDown tonight, although it isn’t known if the match will have the same stipulation. At present, who WWE intends to put into the match is unclear. However, as Sasha Banks has yet to receive a rematch from WrestleMania 37, it would make sense to put her in the spot.
