Bayley training video reportedly 'did not land well with everyone' backstage in WWE

Bayley’s latest training video drew a negative reaction backstage in WWE, a development reported on August 14, 2026, by WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select. The report said there was no substantial new update on Bayley’s WWE contract and that her social media post "did not land well with everyone" inside the company.

The video compiled training highlights filmed at multiple locations and showed Bayley working with several wrestlers, including AJ Lee and AEW’s Mercedes Moné. Bayley captioned the post "all or nothing, baby," and used The Grouch & Eligh’s song "All In" as the soundtrack. Mercedes Moné replied on X with: "I hope the rumors are you true 🤑." Moné is identified in the report as formerly known as Sasha Banks and as one of Bayley’s longtime friends and a fellow member of WWE’s Four Horsewomen.

Reports about Bayley’s contract situation have been inconsistent, the article noted, with some outlets suggesting her WWE deal could expire this year while Bryan Alvarez reported that several people within AEW believe her contract could run through 2027. The piece said that uncertainty surrounding Bayley’s status has made each development around her more significant.

Bayley has been absent from WWE television since Saturday Night’s Main Event, where she was attacked by Lyra Valkyria following their match. On the next episode of WWE Raw, Valkyria claimed she "ran Bayley outta here," as reported.

There has been no confirmation that Bayley is leaving WWE or joining AEW. The report said the combination of the training video, Bayley’s appearance alongside Mercedes Moné and the use of the song "All In" prompted speculation among fans.

AEW’s All In pay-per-view is scheduled to take place in London on August 30, 2026.
