Bayley Withdrawn From WrestleMania 41 After Backstage Attack

Bayley has been pulled from her scheduled WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match at WrestleMania 41 after a storyline backstage attack left her apparently injured. Although the segment aired to suggest a real injury, reports confirm Bayley’s removal was planned weeks in advance and not due to an actual health issue. As a result, Lyra Valkyria, Bayley’s tag team partner, has been given 24 hours to find a replacement ahead of the title match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, who deny involvement in the attack. The incident has sparked speculation about possible surprise replacements, including a potential return for Becky Lynch, who is present at WrestleMania weekend and has past ties to Valkyria. Bayley’s absence, though disappointing to many on the roster and among fans, was always intended as part of WWE’s plans for the event. This unexpected change adds intrigue to the Women’s Tag Team Title match, shifting it from a standard defense to a high-stakes mystery.
