According to the Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE might keep Bayley on WWE TV like The Miz, who got injured during his match against Damian Priest at WrestleMania Backlash. Miz showing up on WWE Raw every week sitting on wheelchair and hosting MizTV, so, Bayley also could end up like Miz hosting her show without returning to in-ring action.
“Pam Martinez (Bayley) suffered a torn left ACL doing training drills on 7/8 at the Performance Center. She was doing the mandatory training that almost all (everyone but the tippy top) talent were told they had to do to get ready for the return of road shows. There’s never a good time for an injury and this certainly wasn’t, in the middle of a program with Belair. She could wind up like Miz being kept on the air to do her talk show,” stated Dave Meltzer.
“Right now it appears she’ll be out of action for about nine months. The thing to note on that is that Bayley is one of those people who fans boo but they really like deep down. She did need to make the turn and evolve her character after the brain trust booked her so poorly as a babyface,” added Dave Meltzer.
The Role Model Bayley was originally set to face Binaca Belair for Smackdown Women’s Championship in I Quit match at Money In The Bank 2021 PPV but due to her injury it was taken off from the PPV. Later, WWE announced Carmella announced as replacement of Bayley to challenge Binaca Belair.
