Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that Bayley has been quietly removed from the advertised lineup for WWE’s SummerSlam Prospect Tryout VIP Experience on July 30. She was initially promoted in a social media post by NXT General Manager Robert Stone alongside Shawn Michaels, Natalya, and Je’Von Evans. However, Ivy Nile has since replaced her on the official On Location website. The unannounced change comes amid growing speculation about the former Women’s Champion’s future, as her current WWE contract remains unsigned and is expected to expire before the end of the year.
Bayley’s potential AEW move remains pure rumor at this stage, fueled by her unresolved WWE contract situation and online teases from Mercedes Moné. Reports indicate her existing deal will expire around October 2026 unless injury time is added, and it is widely believed that AEW would aggressively pursue her as a free agent. As a result, Bayley appears well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing WWE-AEW rivalry and could potentially secure a lucrative contract comparable to Moné’s huge money deal.
